From the README file contained in that driver package: The Solos PCI multiport ADSL2+ modem has been designed by Traverse Technologies. Each ADSL port is controlled by a Conexant Solos D ADSL2+ chipset, which interfaces to the PCI bus through an FPGA. I have two questions: 1. Is this device supported on FreeBSD? A read of the 8.0R hardware document and a few searches of the web turned up nothing. 2. If it is not currently supported, would it be a difficult port to FreeBSD? Ideally, I would like to put four of these in a box for a very specific application. I want to use pf, and therefore, would prefer to use FreeBSD. Cheers, -- jake
