 You're welcome.
 Although I'm only a would-be user for now, I figured I could at least
 attempt to fix the build before playing with Asterisk.

 Thanks for the offer, but I don't have any experience with hardware
 drivers so I'll pass for now.
 Besides, it has already been seven years since DragonFly was forked
 from FreeBSD and I believe there was significant changes in some part
 of the driver API (locking stuff for SMP comes to mind).

 Sure. I'll happily test the new state of things.
