48 Each device has an enabled flag associated with it. A device is
49 enabled by default when it is created but may be disabled (for
50 instance to prevent a destructive or time consuming probe attempt).
51 To disable a device, call
52 .Xr device_disable 9 ,
55 and to test to see if a device is enabled, call
56 .Xr device_is_enabled 9 .
