No, they said three engineers working full-time for two years.
So if we put all committers on this it would take us not more than two

I would read up some code in /dev/usb and see how others did theirs.
I would also read the Dynamic Kernel Linker by Andrew Reiter
http://www.daemonnews.org/200010/blueprints.html, and the white paper by zep
software
http://www.zepsoftware.com/whitepapers/bsd_devtree.php.
That's how I wrote my firs
This may go without saying, but have you read Chapter 22 of the FreeBSD
Developers' Handbook? I have not read intro(4) extensively but that is
probably a good starting place, if you are completely in the dark.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for this?
have you tried man ata ?
The following tunables are settable from the loader:

I have a DVD drive which is recognised by FreeBSD:
acd0: DVD-R at ata1-slave PIO4
The drive supports DMA, and Windows sets it to use UDMA mode 5 (I
think), but BSD does not.
I am assume because the device is not listed as supported correct
driver?
I had a look in ata-dma.c but that file seems t

Hi,
I'm having problems with getaddrinfo call.
When resolving multiple IPv6 addresses that are specified in /etc/hosts, the
response from getaddrinfo call contains only the first address not the whole
list. If I'll configure the corresponding addresses in to DNS I'll get all
the addresses as
I tried to access an UHID device using FreeBSD (4.10) and I'm a bit

device to behave the same under FreeBSD, because the man pages are
pretty much the same. Two things I've noticed:

I think the return probe is done by adding a call probe that changes the
return address.
