Hi Andy, I'm pretty sure that you should not make this a "classical device" but rather a NetGraph node. Contact julian@freebsd.org for details on NetGraph if you cannot find any docs on it. You may also want to look at the "musycc" and "if_mn" drivers which support similar cards. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
