No, this is the first e-mail. We tried it Friday evening :-)

Because if you look at the current FreeBSD sources, they cleaned up the
source nicely and they implemented the necessary goo for the monitoring
tools to work. I think that since there is an OS neutral driver now that
they maintain, we should just use this and implement the OS dependent
portion for NetBSD. That way we can minimize the work maintaining the
driver.
