I am working on disassembling the driver, but this is slow going. the sunpci user-mode program might well work, if the solaris emulation ever gets good enough, and somebody builds a compatible kernel module. a tantalizing idea would be to have a solaris compatible ddi/dki kernel library to link with. pretty gnarly stuff there, too. --curt On Thu, Aug 1, 2013 at 12:44 PM, Frank Wi=DFmann w= rote: > Hello, folks! > I am wondering if the above mentioned hardware (PC on an expansion card) > is supported in FBSD-Sparc-Port or will ever be.
