The usual way is to start with an existing driver (if_fxp might be a good choice) and modify it as required. There's some material in Ch. 12 of "The Design and Implementation of the 4.4BSD Operating System" that may be useful. Any documentation on writing *BSD network drivers in general should be relevant to some extent. Could you stop posting your messages as replies to other unrelated threads? You're very likely to e ignored if your posts just appear randomly in the middle of some other discussion...
