19.1.2. Medium priority tasks

The following tasks need to be done, but not with any particular urgency:

1. Full KLD based driver support/Configuration Manager.
   • Write a configuration manager (in the 3rd stage boot?) that probes your hardware in a sane manner, keeps only the KLDs required for your hardware, etc.

2. PCMCIA/PCCARD. Coordinators: Michael Smith <msmith@FreeBSD.ORG> and Poul-Henning Kamp <phk@FreeBSD.ORG>
   • Documentation!
   • Reliable operation of the pcic driver (needs testing).
   • Recognizer and handler for sio.c (mostly done).
   • Recognizer and handler for ed.c (mostly done).
   • Recognizer and handler for ep.c (mostly done).
   • User-mode recognizer and handler (partially done).
3. Advanced Power Management. Coordinators: Michael Smith <msmith@FreeBSD.ORG> and Poul-Henning Kamp <phk@FreeBSD.ORG>
   • APM sub-driver (mostly done).
   • IDE/ATA disk sub-driver (partially done).
   • syscons/pcvt sub-driver.
   • Integration with the PCMCIA/PCCARD drivers (suspend/resume).
