<p>Recently, a project was started to compile linux device drivers
on FreeBSD through an in-kernel emulation layer, which
implements part of the linux kernel API on top of the FreeBSD
kernel API. The initial implementation was good enough to
support a few USB webcam drivers, and is documented
<a

<p>The goal of this project is to extend this emulation layer
to cover more of the linux kernel API. Two areas that need
further work are the API used by network device drivers (e.g.
many USB wired and wireless device drivers), and the API used
further work are the API used by network/communication device drivers (e.g.
many USB wired and wireless device drivers; telephony cards), and the API used
by memory-mapped devices and drivers (e.g. analog or DVB video
acquisition cards, both USB and PCI).</p>
