 I think finding a committer should not be too difficult, because Damien
 Bergamini became a FreeBSD committer on March 3rd (damien@) :-)

Perfect!

  umodem is for serial modems not ADSL. I believe ADSL modems tend to send
  either ATM or ethernet frames whereas umodem deals with RS232 like devices.
 
 Indeed, then, is the driver going to be merged in its original form or
 not? :)

Is there a PR requesting its inclusion? :-)

You'll also need to find a committer willing to do the work to actually
perform the integration and testing, review the licensing, etc. Also, the
code should ideally work on -CURRENT and provide patches to RELENG_5 if
necessary.

ueagle(4) driver merging

2005-03-02 Thread Mateusz Jdrasik
Hi,
I wonder how is the FreeBSD team looking on the driver ueagle written by 
one Damien Bergamini. It is a ADSL modem driver which connects using 
USB, a quite popular solution in Poland, and France as well, aparently.

Is the idea of FreeBSD to merge such driver as a hack to the umodem 
code, or to stay in tune with Damien's solution and merge the whole driver?

I would really like to see such a driver supported inside of the FreeBSD 
system itself since it would make me feel much more comfortable using a 
somewhat FreeBSD oficially supported code than third party patching.

Here follows some more information regarding the project:

Cheers,
