Hi All

I need a driver for the Sun Cassini (0xabba) network card.  I have 5
b100s waiting for the sparc64 build cluster.
My understanding is that at the moment Freebsd does not currently have a
driver for the Cassini.  Digging around I see that OpenBSD does;

How hard would it be to port across ?

Would it be easier to start from scratch ?

Does anybody want to help/guide me ?

Thanks

Craig Butler
