One of our programmers has already started writing FreeBSD drivers for our cards. At this stage, only the EasyIO and Easconnection 8/32 cards are supported by the drivers. He will be adding support for the other cards, including the Brumby, over the next few months. The company does not officially support these drivers. You are quite welcome to look at what we have so far. The drivers are to be found in the directory "drivers/unsupported/freebsd" on our Web server "stallion.com". We have already written Linux drivers, which are officially supported, for all of our multi-port cards. These drivers are also available from our ftp site, if you are interested.
