 From the site:
---snip---
I will pay $200 to whoever can compose a working and stable recipe for =20
running Adobe Flash 9 inside of the FreeBSD native version of Opera 9 =20
on FreeBSD 6.x. This shouldn't be that hard - in fact, there is =20
already a linux-flashplugin9 port.
---snip---

Comments from other people with some more money not included here...

And now the sad reality check: linux-flashplugin9 will _never_ work on =20
6.x (lack of linux 2.6 emulation, and this is not a MFC candidate).

Getting it to work on 7.x is possible. "All what you need" is =20
nspluginwrapper to get it running in the native =20
firefox/opera/whatever, and someone who is willing to debug the =20
linuxulator (on -current, as there is a more complete 2.6 =20
compatibility there, and this can be MFCed to 7.x) and find the =20
bug/problem which is causing the crashes. Whoever is willing to tackle =20
this: head over to emulation@ (CCed) and ask what debugging =20
possibilities we have in the linuxulator.

Note: AFAIK linux-flashplugin9 is not completely stable on linux either...

Bye,
Alexander.
