Well I am a develloper and I don't know how to write drivers for FreeBSD myself But I sure would like to see these drivers integrated into FreeBSD 4.x-STABLE Also I only have a HE 155 and don't which motherboard ( PC ) can support HE 622 64Bits board Do you know of any such motherboard ? I also would like to see the PROSUM (http://www.prosum.fr ) card supported it is using and IDT chipset and they have a Linux driver so develloper can look at the linux driver maybe and port it to FreeBSD the driver is on their website and maybe they could lend someone a card for the porting effort. ( or maybe give ? :)) On Thu, 17 May 2001 09:49:03 -0700 Jin Guojun <j_guojun@lbl.gov> wrote: > That is why. > This is a legitimated question, I cannot submit it to any where else except > back to the FORE (MARCONI) source community under license NDA. > You can see I uploaded entire package there.
