I don't think ISA is ever going to be something we can completely eradicate. Bits of ISA'ness show up everywhere, from random PC southbridges to specialized busses shipped on 64-bit sparcs for 8-bit devices like floppies and serial ports. Therefore, unlike MCA, ISA is more of a kind of entity we'll have to eradicate piecemeal I think. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
