57.Sh HISTORY
58The machine-independent
59.Nm
60driver was written by
61.An Garrett D'Amore
62for the
63Champaign-Urbana Community Wireless Network Project (CUWiN), and
64appeared in
65.Nx 4.0 .
66.Sh BUGS
67Some important bits that are vital for use as a mass storage device
68are still missing.
69Specifically, there is no API to erase the device,
70and there is no support for device partitioning.
