Hi,

Some network cards support IEE1588 hardware timestamp (like some Intel
card), but their drivers didn't support this feature.
I beleive there is a kernel feature missing for this suppport.

Searching on the archive's mailing-list, I've found this post about some
legal issue:
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2007-October/015512.html

Is still a legal problem or just a missing feature ?

Thanks,

Olivier
