Hi, I work for a company that sells Linux boxes that act as ADSL gateways. Every box has a special PCI card designed and manufactured by us which includes one ATM controller (A Fujitsu FireStream 50) and 16 ADSL modems. Of course, one of our biggest problems is linux itself, crashing several times per week and forcing the client to physically reboot the machine. Also, the userland ATM implementation under Linux is less than successful, and is giving us many headaches. What I would like to do is somehow port the FireStream driver from Linux to *BSD, and use BSD's Native ATM support, which appears to be much better, and, naturally, enjoy all of BSD's advantages and strength over linux. So, Has anyone ever done that sort of thing before? What would it take? Thanks, Gilad.
