Date: 7 Feb 1996 15:37:23 GMT Organization: University of South Carolina - Columbia - Computer Science Lines: 11 Message-ID: <4fagvj$c8n@redwood.cs.sc.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: mingus.cs.sc.edu Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.1N (X11; I; BSD/386 uname failed) X-URL: news:comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc/15050-15050 Is there an existing WaveLan device driver for FreeBSD? I'm getting a WaveLan card soon and I need to get it set up. I know that Linux has a driver but I really don't want to switch to Linux from BSD. If there is no current driver, how hard would it be for someone with no device driver experience to port the Linux driver to BSD? (impossible?) I looked at the Linux code and it's 2300 lines of unpleasantness. Thanks for any help, Kevin Brown kbrown@cs.sc.edu
