I'd also recommend make this [my] video code optional as lots of people
don't use it...
+ Fixing all the bugs in source routing and IP tunneling.
+ Including more RAID levels.
+ Fixing the rest of IP `features' which are contary to the RFC's.
+ Speeding up initialization of sbpcd.
+ Speeding up NFS.
+ Adding support for DHCP.
+ Adding support for use of R/W shadow regions (helps a lot on a 4MB notebook!)
+ Allowing multiple displays (VGA+Hercules etc.)
+ Fix ICMP address mask request / reply.
+ Convert some network #ifdef's to sysctl()'s.
+ Adding MOXA C-218 8-port serial card driver (now being developed by me).
+ Categorizing *all* kernel messages.
+ Maybe implementing some sort of asynchronous I/O?
