    The Niagara "driver" is really just the em driver with a character
    device to handle the user land utility.

    I have ported the basic functionality of the Niagara cdev to FreeBSD
    5.x, but have yet to finish the watchdog stuff. Currently you can use
    the user land utility to put the interface in bypass or active mode and
    retrieve information about the card. There is a decent chance that this
    work will be open sourced by either InterfaceMasters or by us, but I can
    not speak with complete authority on the matter.
