Dear all,
I've got a sound card SB! Live 5.1 Dell OEM.
It worked well on my ubuntu, gentoo,sarge.
But I can't find a driver for my card on FreeBSD 6.0 release.
And I'll have try to write one by myself.
But I can't find any datasheet for my card.
Can anyone give some hints how to get one?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Your best bet is to contact the copyright owner of the Linux driver, and
ask their permission to write a BSD licensed driver based on it.
Isn't it GPL?
He can write one for himself-- he already has permission. He could include
it in a distro as well, but under GPL-- not sure if a module makes the
kernel into a "derived work" but I would doubt it.
Of course getting permission to make it a BSD license might be cleanest,
but I don't think is needed, is it?
