Try fetching this ->
http://www.gsoft.com.au/~doconnor/ltmdm-driver.tgz

And unpacking it in /usr/src. You will need to patch sys/modules/Makefile by
hand.. This diff should work ->
Index: Makefile
===================================================================

retrieving revision 1.110.2.30

I am not totally certain I am allowed to distribute the linux binary in this
fashion, but I've seen similar distributions for linux...

Once you've unpacked the archive and applied the patch the module will be build
next time you compile your kernel. You can also compile it manually by doing ->
cd /usr/src/sys/modules/ltmdm
make
make install
