hi, i recently got a card that uses a Hifn 7955, and figured i'd take a look = at the driver for it while i was setting it up. i almost immediately = found issues that would likely cause hangs or crashes (maybe even damage = to the chip, not sure) on some machines, possibly unexpectedly slow = operation on others, and could have unexpected and hard to detect side = effects elsewhere due to possible clock instability. i have a vested interest in having this driver work properly and = securely in NetBSD, and i'm interested in sending in patches and = possibly doing a more extensive audit/rewrite, but it looks like the = driver is currently disabled, and there's been little work the past few = years that hasn't been pulling changes from openbsd. so... is anyone = maintaining it at all? would i be better off going to OpenBSD for this, and then trying to = merge updates here once they're accepted there (despite having little = interest in OpenBSD personally)?=
