Just in case anyone is wondering, I refuse to create BSD drivers based
soley on information from Linux drivers. I don't want any damn Linux
source: I want the programming manual used to create the driver in
the first place. Why? If Intel is willing to release unencumbered
Linux source, then they should be willing to release the manual as well.
If they're not willing, then I don't want anything to do with them.

You work for Intel yet claim technical ignorance? I dunno man... :)
