Ok, I probably missed the last sentence. Anyway, if I were knowledgeable
and good on SMP thread architecture, I would not ask the question :-)
But if people want a team, I can help in some part.

Once I can launch OC-12 driver for FreeBSD, and go for 3rd generation
network architecture, I will defininately need and work on SMP thread
more or less.

Thanks,
