Actually, I think the "easy to port" part of Urias email was based on the fact that, right now, we can pretty much just get the FreeBSD sources for a network driver, drop it unchanged in our source tree, create some pretty standard glue code and the required Jamfiles and, voilá, it should work. Thanks to Hugo's and Axel's work in the FreeBSD compatibility layer porting a FreeBSD network driver should take 2 minutes unless the driver uses something we did not foresee yet.
