There's also preliminary support for ata flash and ata cdroms that is
new, as well as linksys support (although I think the linksys stuff is
in 3.x now). I have hardware for fdc and fe changes, but not the time
right now. Xircom has preliminary support as well, but that is broken
at the moment.

I'm not sure that there is a huge advantage to having 4.0 ship with a
fully functional newcard. As it stands now, there will likely be a
PAO 4.0 release which brings forward much of the PAO3 functionality
that hasn't yet been merged. In the 4.1 timeframe I think we'll see a
more agressive move to newcard and by 4.2 see the differences between
regular FreeBSD and PAO diminish quite a bit. However, that's just a
guess.
