Thanks Adrian. I am not a device drivers person. But, quick query - do you reuse the current Linux drivers work [0].
Looking at the current client device deployment, Intel owns around 80% of the Wi-Fi modem market. Is anybody from Intel working on BSD wireless drivers as well.
There is reuse, for example iwm(4) is based on the Linux driver and pulls from it. But the process is manual, not like the Linux-KPI graphics and OFED stuff.
It would be great if Intel stepped up to the plate and helped.
I was thinking about a common driver interface similar to POSIX standard would solve the problem of multiple OS device support on a single hardware platform.
There was an effort for Uniform Driver Interface (UDI)[0], looks like it is dormant.
