I'm curious if anyone has any comments on the feasability of "porting" Linux
device drivers to FreeBSD. I'm looking at doing a driver for the Cyclom Z card,
and there is one that currently works for Linux. I'm wondering if its worth
my time trying to recode it, or whether I should just start from scratch.
