The pat answer is "Read the list charters" (see below). If you have a general user question about installing a device driver, configuring a device, or loading a kernel module, -questions is probably a good bet. If you plan on writing driver code for new (not yet supported) hardware, you will want to track -CURRENT, read freebsd-current, freebsd-hackers, and freebsd-hardware. -hardware would probably provide the best forum for general questions about hardware implementation and support. -hackers is a good forum for discussing intimately technical system code issues, including, I suppose, driver coding. Send a message to majordomo@freebsd.org, and put (for example) info freebsd-hardware in the body of your message. I get the freebsd-hardware list charter: -- >>>> info freebsd-hardware FREEBSD-HARDWARE General discussion of FreeBSD hardware General discussion about the types of hardware that FreeBSD runs on, various problems and suggestions concerning what to buy or avoid. >>>> >>>> >>>> -- END OF COMMANDS If you are not already a skilled systems programmer, and you are looking for general information on "how to code/port a driver", etc., you may not find what you are looking for in the lists. Try some mailing list searches (see http://www.freebsd.org/search/) for questions of a similar nature to your own.
