Yes, well, it was the e325 I discovered this on in the first place. I am supposed to be nominal maintainer, but I've had no time for FreeBSD for quite some time- this might change a *bit* soon as I just quit my job and am moving to one which is a bit less insane. But I believe that the card still needs a real maintainer who will spend a lot of time on it. If there *is* such a serious owner out there, I'd be delighted to have that happen If there was any money involved in it, I'd also be more interested in proactively maintaining the driver. I was able to leverage *some* FreeBSD support time out of some previous jobs and contracts, but nobody I've worked for in the last 3 years has had the slightest interest in *BSD support. I'm a bit surprised that LSI-Logic's Linux maintainers won't help. Have you checked? Stever Ralston && Pam Delaney are gone, but I thought a FreeBSD committer moved up from GA to Colorado Springs to take over the Linux maintenance and you'd think he'd help, no?
