I have researched the FAQ and the hardware doc and have been unable to find
that the Digiboard cards are supported under FreeBSD2.0.5.  I also went
looking on the Digiboard ftp site, and found drivers for lots of systems
EXCEPT FreeBSD.  I did however find patches to the kernel (ioctl I think)
for the BSDI 2.0 software.  This will be my second to last resort if no
one on here can point me in a better direction.  My firts, last choice (if
that makes any sense) will just be to re-port the linux drivers.

Before I do all that work, and possibly just re-invent the "wheel" as it 
were, does anyone know of a source for this that has already been done?

Thanks in advance for any help.
