FreeBSD has a driver. All that is required is that someone
port the driver to NetBSD.
But, if you port the FreeBSD (or Linux) driver, you will have to
maintain it yourself -- it won't be able to go in the true NetBSD
distribution, since both drivers have GNU-copylefted code in them.
(GNU Copyleft is not allowed in the NetBSD kernel source, and is
STRONGLY discouraged, except where unavoidable, in the userland
source.)
