In local.freebsd.questions you write: >I have a HSF Conexant/Rockwell modem. I want to use it on >freebsd, do you have some driver or something about? It >has a driver open-source for linux, see >www.mbsi.ca/hsflinux for more information, it is a >sugestion for future plains of drivers. I had a quick look at this and found ~7k lines of more or less linux-specific C code, along with 1.7MB of object files (interesting definition of "open source"), and of course no actual documentation of the hardware. So, while it is not entirely impossible that some fearless hacker will be able to do something with this, I don't think it is likely to be ported to FreeBSD anytime soon. Me? Nah... way too lazy & stupid. (Pity: looks like it would support the modem in my Vaio laptop...) $.02, /Mikko -- Mikko Työläjärvi_______________________________________mikko@rsasecurity.com RSA Security To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
