You're probably right about FreeBSD not being a driver target, I haven't worked on that gear in so long.  Sounds like the Meinberg card has what you want so all good.

The web site says that the driver is available for Windows, Solaris and Linux. The only reason I need the Linux source is so that I can use as reference to write a driver for FreeBSD, which is the kernel I'm using. Is a FreeBSD source driver available?
In the meantime I got an meinberg card, which provides source code kernel drivers for all OSes (including FreBSD).

thanks,
