Requiring less code is indeed a wonderful thing.
AHCI is one of these masterpieces: a single driver driving many consumer-level disk chipsets at once. The sound club tried something similar with AC97 and HDA. Why can't we have a unified HW API like that for further types of silicon as well, like, network cards?
