I am interested on writting a device driver for a few token ring cards.

I am not quite sure how I should attack such a problem.  Does anyone know
where I can get the technical refrence guide to IBM token ring cards?  Is
there anyone else developing such a device driver?

How different are Linux drivers to freebsd drivers?  Would it be better to
try to port the linux driver, or start from scratch?

Any help would be appreciated.
