Date: Sun, 31 Aug 2003 15:02:36 -0700 (PDT) From: Nate Lawson <nate@root.org> I asked this on -hackers a little while ago but no response. I'm curious if anyone has made an attempt to port these Winmodem drivers. http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/ I did look into it, but concluded that it was pretty hopeless. For starters, the DSP routines in there seem to need the FPU, and FreeBSD doesn't seem to allow that in the kernel. Apart from that, almost 100% of the code is in the binary-only modules, including a lot of Linux-specific code, which makes it very hard to see how the code is supposed to interface with the kernel.
