Depending on what kind of hardware it is, find out what developers are working on that hardware (differen't people develop network drivers than ATA drivers, for example) Contact the person (or people) working on the type of hardware you want supported and see what they need to make it happen. It's very likely that getting the hardware supported will involve a donation from you of a piece of that hardware, so don't be surprised if you're asked for one. We donated a DVD-burner to Soeren Schmidt last fall, so hopefully there will be a lot of support for DVD burning in FreeBSD 5. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
