Thanks. We're always happy to support new cards. The way it usually works is that you have a card and you want a driver (having a vested interest, you see), so you write one. You then send the driver to us and we integrate it into our tree. It is then in the next release of FreeBSD, and all DPT users rejoice! Since the core developers have neither the time nor the hardware resources (we don't own DPT controllers or there would probably be driver support already! :-) to do this, it probably won't happen any other way! :-( -- - Jordan Hubbard President, The FreeBSD Project
