Jonathan, Are you targeting specific boards or a generic HiFn 7751/7791 driver? Also, are you in contact with the guys who wrote the HiFn code for OpenBSD? The reason I ask is that I sure would love to see some code sharing between the two of you so that maybe OBSD could support a greater variety of encryption chipsets and manufacturers. My HiFn 7751 card works well but, there's always new stuff on the horizon.

Either way, which chipsets > are you planning on writting drivers for? That was the original plan. However, our code is different enough from OpenBSD that a simple port doesn't appear to be feasible, more work is needed to shim things into our networking stack. For the first round, I'm planning on support for HiFn (7751, 7791) boards, as that is the hardware that I have. More drivers can be added later, assuming I'm able to get the hardware and documentation for them. -- Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
