I note DragonFly have acx(4) driver, which supports some acx100 and acx111 wireless chips: http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/cgi/web-man?command=acx§ion=ANY There is a FBSD port for acx100, which is broken for versions > 6: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/net/acx100/ but no FBSD port for acx111, though one can presumably start it from http://dev.kewl.org/acx100+111/ Questions: 1. Any reason why acx driver exists on DragonFly but not on FBSD? 2. Is it possible and practical to port the dragonfly acx(4) driver to FBSD? 3. What is easier - to port acx driver from DragonFly to FBSD, or to develop a port for acx100+111? 4. Provided the acx100+111 FBSD port is available and working, what is more efficient - using a kernel acx module or acx built from ports? many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 928 8233 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423
