I think if we can see sources for MAC/OSX it'd could be portable to FreeBSD according to the license. However I tried to download a driver URL to see whether it includes sources. All I found was `Installer87se.pkg'; I can't mount .pkg file because I don't have a laptop Mac OS installed temporarily. regards, Weongyo Jeong
