I've submitted a bug with a lot of FreeBSD patches, but it looks like
the gnome-network guys will be converting over to libgnetwork, so my
patches might need a bit of touch up.  Overall [FreeBSD] portability is
very doable, and I'm very excited about this module.

It seems to me it may still need (or is scheduled to receive) a severe
internal make-over, and may not be ready in time for 2.6.  This is just
my feeling based on feedback to my portability bug.
