Some drivers have to be mostly re-written if they use mostly linux only stuff. After reading that you may have better luck asking in -hackers and perhaps giving the details of what driver you're trying to port. Maybe even include links to its source. You may even find someone willing to work on it with you. This is older, but may still be a bit helpful: http://people.freebsd.org/~erich/ddwg/ddwg.html Tim On Wednesday February 07, 2001 11:13, Marcus Ramos wrote: > Hello, > > I am trying to port a Linux PCI driver to FBSD 4.1 Release.
