I originally asked about making a network driver module for 3.4.
I was hoping for either a "here's how you do it" or at least an "it's
not possible with 3.4" response...

How did you guess?...  ;-)  Yes, originally developed for Windows.
Ported to Linux (as a module) without many problems; now I'm the
"lone wolf" trying to add support for FreeBSD...

Okay - that's what I needed to know.  It looks like I should definitely
be targeting 4.x instead of 3.x. :(  I'll install 4.0, see if there are
any network driver module examples, and get back to you-all if I have
any more problems...

Thanks,
Gary
