Hi,

Is the ULI M526x NIC somehow supported with *BSD?

The m526x belongs to the 'tulip'-family with the linux-kernel.

Its not in the hardware compatibility list, so I'm not really counting
on it, but what are the chances of seeing support?

Is there maybe a way to 'port' the linux driver?
I've heard about linux compatibility layer, but I suspect its not meant
for linux kernel modules...

Thanks for any pointers!

Tom
