I looked the stuff over briefly; the main bulk of the code is written to be portable, in fact it's the code from the widows NT driver. I suspect it wouldn't be to hard to the os specific over to fbsd. The problem with this of course would be the driver would have to be entirely GPL'ed. Any thoughts on this? worth while in the sort term, complete rewrite in the long term? (that may be hard to do without referencing the GPL'ed code) Ok but lets do it but make in it a load able kernel module so the GPL virus doesn't infect the kernel. Why bother with this card any ways find one the performs better. :-) :-) > > Enjoy > > -- > > Amancio Hasty > hasty@rah.star-gate.com > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
