This was based of driver called bxe in FreeBsd but the changes are so massive that there is no point in creating such a patch except to keep some lawyer happy. 37 files changed, 33668 insertions(+), 159047 deletions(-) It might be okay to rename the visible config option and directory to bxe but not going to change internal things.
