Of course I do, I just wanted to point out that you are generalizing. "The
Intel Etherexpress does not work on FreeBSD" is not true - it works for
me. There are SOME cards that don't work.

Now I really don't understand you. You demand others to work for you for
free ("Hey I have this problem, everybody listen up and immediately start
working on fixing it! Hey, nobody listens, so FreeBSD sux, Linux rox!")
You don't want to contribute anything back yourself (you or your company).
So you expect others to do what you don't want to do yourself. Is that
correct?
Yes, I also work for a company (an ISP) and all the work I do on FreeBSD
(or other projects) *is* being contributed back to those. We use FreeBSD
(for free, obviously) and we "pay" for it by contributing back what little
we can.
