} Hi,
} I am beginning to get tired of comtrol. I am thinking of changing all my 
} comtrols to Cyclades. Lets make a few noise with the comtrol guys, how 
} about a few home pages saying " I would like to exchange my Comtrol 
} RocketPorts with Cyclades Cycloms, they did a linux driver and do not do 
} a FreeBSD one. " . So maybe they will do the driver. I can't understand 
} how a company that wants to sell more and more does not do a driver for
} FreeBSD.
} Luiz
} 

Is there not enough information available for someone else to write a driver?

If I'm not mistaken, *most* of the drivers for FreeBSD have been authored by
volunteers.
