We've been looking for someone interested in this for a while now. You will best understand FreeBSD's architecture by looking at the source code. We are currently adopting a new modular bus architecture, which will make writing your driver much easier. For an example of new the bus design, see the iicbus code in /sys/dev/iicbus. The author of this code, Nicholas Souchu (nsouch@freebsd.org) should be able to answer your questions, and Doug Rabson (dfr@freebsd.org) is the architect of the new design, and will be able to help you further. Please study the source code a little, and ask questions as you go. It would also help to know which 1394 hardware you planned to support. > My major field of interest is network.
