Damn, correction #2 here: FreeBSD does include support for this since 10-current, so its bxe(4) driver is a potential target for porting: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=bxe&apropos=0&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+10-current&arch=default&format=html Now just to find the person with enough spare time on their hands to do the actual grunt work... -- Saso _______________________________________________ OmniOS-discuss mailing list OmniOS-discuss@lists.omniti.com http://lists.omniti.com/mailman/listinfo/omnios-discuss
