For network boards, we use the +[[DDE]] toolkit to run linux 2.6.32 drivers in userland processes, +which provides both long-term support for new hardware and safety against driver +bugs. [[microkernel/mach/gnumach/ports/Xen]] is also supported, both blkfront +and netfront. + +Note however that we have of course not tested all drivers, we obviously don't +even have all kinds of hardware.
