A couple of months ago IBM released the source to their linux modem driver for the thinkpad 600 & 600E: http://oss.software.ibm.com/developer/opensource/linux/projects/mwave/ The modem is a controllerless DSP - there is a userspace daemon the acts as the controller and communicates with the DSP via a dynamically loaded device driver. The DSP also emulates a serial chip which allows a standard serial-line driver to be used. I have ported the driver to freebsd 4.1.1 on a thinkpad 600E. The daemon just required a few mods to basically get it to compile; the kernel module needed a fairly major overhaul, as you might imagine. It seems to work ok with tip as a simple dialup serial line; I haven't tried dialup IP. I was wondering what the best way to make it available to other freebsd users was. I emailed IBM about hosting it but they haven't replied. I think it would take quite a bit of clean-up to include it in the standard kernel, and I don't have -current anyway. I'd be willing to make it into a separate package though. Any suggestions? Simon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
