hi,

i guess iam asking a bit too much.iam aware of the linux emulation layer in FreeBSD.That means programs (binaries) compiled on Linux will run on FreeBSD without doing anything.Is it possible that i can use a Linux driver in binary form in FreeBSD,because i dont have the sources and so cannot recompile it on the FreeBSD system.Or if u can think of any way out.

any help will be highly appreciated.

thanks 

rohit
