I;d like to start contributing to the project, and I've heard unanimously a good place
to start is device drivers. However, I'd like to try something other than sound cards
(the only major recommendation I've heard so far)
Are there any NICs, or other driver areas where FreeBSD could use some
aid driver into the kernel? Does this allow the
hardware mirroring as setup by the bios in the 3ware card, or does one
still need to use vinum?
