If you provide me with the board and documentation, I'll add it to the ICS board driver I am currently writing.

The driver is written to be hardware independant, so different boards, from different vendors can be acomodated within the same driver interface. ---------- Sincerely Yours, Simon Shapiro Shimon@Simon-Shapiro.ORG Voice: 503.708.7858 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
