First, look, everyone take a breather, FreeBSD doesnt compare to linux in any form,except that it is also free, PAO may be stalled, and your not the only person that suffers from this.... i have a 2.2.8 PAO compatible card that worked, until i upgraded to 3.1, now it doesnt, but the cdrom in my CTX that never worked even under 2.2.8 without locking up my laptop does work under 3.1, Iask am I complaining and wasting core team memeber time with flames, Ummm no, im simply seeking help, as so you should be also, as for the world and knowledge of FreeBSD as compared to linux, that is only due to RedHat and their marketing efforts, so maybe you should form your own company, and start championing our cause for FreeBSD, linux may have more press, but as i see it, people are starting to realize that FreeBSD is more robust and stable then linux. so let linux forge the way, big deal, its not like the core team is making money from their work. Back off, sit down and code your own driver, and when your done with that you can code the one i need for my pcmcia card, stop talking and start being productive with all this negative energy you put forth, damn you could have probably already written the darn drivers. ive said enuff, so either seek help nicely, or code it yourself, and leave the core team memebers alone, they dont need any more stress then they already have.
