Start with the Rockwell supplied Linux drivers. They actually have a BSD compatible source license, so they could be included with a BSD ditribution in binary form, without making the kernel illegal due to clause 6 of the GPL being incompatible with BSD licenses. Also, make sure that you have the right identification from Windows or some other method. I have a modem in my laptop that most UNIX software claims is an HSF, but is in reality an HCF (e.g. almost all Sony laptops in recent history have a Rockwell (Connectix) HCF in them). Note that Rockwell has HCF drivers for Linux, in source code, under the same BSD-happy license, for download from their web site. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
