the point is, there is no "FreeBSD" company or individual, and most
-hackers or core team happen to live in a better world and not have
interest (or perhaps) time to invest in developing token ring drivers
(whic means also hunting documentation etc. etc.)

i don't think there is much need for arguments why supporting XYZ would
be great.

reminds me of the many people were telling me that midi/wavetable
support was really necessary to them etc etc but none has the time to
help developing the code.
