ATM, the first choice is Anyone that refuses to carry binary-only
drivers, so that all others will also benefit, as it will require
documented hardware, which is also a very good choice.
I of course like source too,
but this rather destroys the force of that argument:
On FreeBSD-6.2-RELEASE:
man nve
then go use find on /usr/src. it's a BLOB Linux MS compat
PS there's source coming in from elsewhere now for
man nfe
in 7-current patches for stable 6.2
Summary: binary only doesnt seem to have precluded FreeBSD in case of
nve, though again, yes we all prefer source avail. too :-)
Yup, the only mainstream operating systems / distributions that match
Anyone that refuses to carry binary-only drivers, so that all others
will also benefit, as it will require documented hardware are Debian
GNU/Linux and OpenBSD.
