I have googled this over and over and found nothing. If not, how would I begin to learn about porting it? I know it is in python and would probably only require some tweaking to include ifconfig instead of iwconfig. I am very new to BSD and programming and need to know where to start. I have read the handbook on porting but there are still some pieces missing for me. I think where I am stuck at is the actual tweaking of the program to make it run under BSD. Should I just make a Makefile and see if it builds before anything else?
