I'd volunteer if I had a clue.  I'm not a programmer, and my only exposure 
to C/C++ is two semesters a while ago.  I doubt you want me writing device 
drivers.  :-)

I understand that the guy who was writing the driver had some sort of 
disagreement with someone and dropped the project.  He's still maintaining 
the driver for OpenBSD.  I'm wondering how much work it would take to adapt 
what's in OBSD CVS to FBSD and get the thing working?  Is it a simple 
matter of fixing paths so they point to the right source and header files? 
Or is there more to it?
