The proper docs are available at: ftp://ftp.hifn.com/. The problem is these docs only came out late last year, AFTER the OpenBSD people made a big issue out of it. At the time this seemed to meet the needs of the OpenBSD developers. The "fix" for FreeBSD is a totally different project. Michael Richardson of Xelerance was hired by Hifn to make a working software stack for Linux and FreeBSD for the hifn chips. I think this started a year ago, well before the OpenBSD v. HiFn standoff. http://www.xelerance.com/pr/20070205/ It looks like there is a little howto info at: http://hifn.xelerance.com/. At any rate, it looks like progress is being made so I'm hopeful that good drivers will be available in the not too distant future.
