Can someone suggest a good example driver that has already been converted, so I can see what needs to be done? Again, I don't care if they stay in the current/head tree.

FCP-0101: Deprecating most 10/100 Ethernet drivers

Not all are scheduled for removal but this is my inventory for which I can test and am willing to help out with. Add iwn and ath too.I also have a stack of old stuff (almost certain there?s at least one vx in there - VORTEX power!). If anyone needs cards, please contact me and if I have it, I?ll send it your way. Also have some old video (AGP), sound (ISA), SATA (PCI-X) and other total rando stuff. One place I see the older cards are in some firewall boxes that are in SFF boxes. Old PCI 10/100 NICs are more than adequate for backup WAN purposes (xDSL, cable, etc.) and some of the SFF boxes have one pci-e plus one pci slot and that?s it.
