1)	Knowing that there were Linux drivers, rather than just
	thinking it,

	OR

	obtaining the necessary programming documentation from
	the board manufacturer

2)	Someone with the card, and other resources necessary to
	test a FreeBSD port of the driver (e.g. an active ADSL
	line)

3)	Someone willing to do the FreeBSD driver implementation
