+ + FreeBSD port of NetworkManager + +

Technical contact: Joe Marcus Clarke

+ +

This task is to port + + NetworkManager to FreeBSD. Porting NetworkManager + will also require some core userland changes to FreeBSD, + especially to ifconfig.

+ +

Requirements:

+
    +
  • C programming skills
  • +
  • Knowledge of the FreeBSD net80211 wireless stack
  • +
+
+
+ + + Fix FreeBSD support in GNOME's system-tools-backends + +

Technical contact: Joe Marcus Clarke

+ +

This task is to fix FreeBSD support in + sysutils/system-tools-backends.

+ +

Requirements:

+
    +
  • Perl programming skills
  • +
  • Knowledge of the FreeBSD system configuration
  • +
+
+
+ + + Extend hal support on FreeBSD + +

Technical contact: Joe Marcus Clarke

+ +

This task is to add hal support for some additional + subsystems. In particular FreeBSD is lacking support for the + ieee1394 (i.e. Firewire), bluetooth, and printer. Adding + support for these subsystems will require changes to the + FreeBSD kernel. Those interested should use the latest + + HAL Specification as a guide.

+ +

Requirements:

+
    +
  • C programming skills
  • +
  • Knowledge of the FreeBSD system internals
