Star Interview: Jonathan Gray, Damien Bergamini of OpenBSD
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 21st Apr 2006 14:34 UTC, submitted by Soulbender
OpenBSD "Gray and Bergamini recently worked together to develop the nfe driver to support NVIDIA ethernet controllers. In this interview, they talk about OpenBSD's policy to not ship binary-blobs, explaining the problems associated with drivers that use these blobs and the affect these types of drivers have on the open source community. They also detail the efforts involved in writing the nfe driver, describing why they started the project, how they were able to support undocumented hardware, and the features supported by the new driver."
