Note: this should really be asked on ecos-devel@ecos.sourceware.org
You'd be much better off starting with drivers that have been ported
to FreeBSD since our network stack is derived from that.
As for Linux drivers, *CAUTION* since they will [mostly] be pure
GPL code which is not license compatible with the rest of Linux.
In general, you can use it for ideas, but you can't copy (cut & paste).
