I'd volunteer if I had a clue.  I'm not a programmer, and my only exposure=20
to C/C++ is two semesters a while ago.  I doubt you want me writing device=20
drivers.  :-)

I understand that the guy who was writing the driver had some sort of=20
disagreement with someone and dropped the project.  He's still maintaining=20
the driver for OpenBSD.  I'm wondering how much work it would take to adapt =

what's in OBSD CVS to FBSD and get the thing working?  Is it a simple=20
matter of fixing paths so they point to the right source and header files?=20
Or is there more to it?
