After your driver is done, you can either: 1. put it up on your own website, and announce it here, or 2. submit the code for inclusion in FreeBSD. You do this either by submitting a PR, or sending the code to a FreeBSD committer for review. For assistance with the driver, you may want to contact Bill Paul, . As a matter of fact, I believe that he has already written a driver for the Davicom DM9102 chip already, but only for -current. . -- Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
