I have never heard of anything that would allow a Linux binary driver
to be loaded by FreeBSD, and I doubt it exists. Linux binary applications
certainly can be run on FreeBSD, but not drivers. The only way would be
to get the source code and port it over, and you'd probably have to make
major changes.
