Yeah, the driver did experience a major rewrite(s), iirc, there is a
thread on -current, where people couldn't use their fd* (rik comes
to mind).
I won't be able to test it tonight (its 22:08 up here, and I have
a lecture in the morning), so tomorrow 5-ish localtime.
iirc, corecode and few other people experience this too.
