Thank you in advance. > NetXen, now QLogic, NX3301 is intelligent controller with many offloading features. This type of controller requires a special firmware so we need vendor's support for FreeBSD to solve firmware licensing issue. Writing a driver for this controller will also need detailed data sheet and firmware interface that should be used in driver. Even though vendor released a Linux driver, it's not enough to write a driver. I don't have any contact point for QLogic and I don't know whether the vendor is willing to support FreeBSD community. Your best bet at this moment would be poking QLogic to release FreeBSD driver. > -- > Samuel REMOUE
