Even though we can't be completely type-safe, if there were suggested values in a comment in the code, it could help a great deal for any code trying to parse them for multiple different drivers/nics.The strings represent NIC-specific attributes. Yes, but surely there is some comonality? I'm not asking for something set in stone, but just some general guidelines. However, I don't feel too strongly about this, so if it is not worth the time/effort, then I'll still be happy :) Ben -- Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> <Ben_Greear AT excite.com> President of Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com ScryMUD: http://scry.wanfear.com http://scry.wanfear.com/~greear |
