Would you be interested to port it from FreeBSD?  My plate is kinda
full at the moment.  Please feel free to ask questions on kernel@ or
users@, if you want to do it.

BTW, is anyone interested to port age(4)?  I got a private mail from
one of the possible users about it :)

These two chips seem more and more common these days.  However, I
don't have any (they should be LOM).

Best Regards,
