I didn't try to port anything, but I was keeping an eye on the Linux project
because I have a DXR-3 myself. If you are in need of FreeBSD testers, I'll
gladly volunteer. Writing kernel drivers is still a bit above my head though...
Maybe you should also ask on [EMAIL PROTECTED] - that is a more
appropriate list for kernel hacking questions, in as far as I understand.
