Correct. I think the semptron and the amd athlon xp-m 3000+ are the same

If you would like to spend time to create or port the existing driver to
FreeBSD I would like to help. I have some good c knowlegde but not on the
hardware-layer. ;)

I currently read the linux driver and so if I can create and prototype
or something similiar...

best regards,
