FreeBSD has support for FR with help of nodes ng_frame_relay and ng_lmi. This
support is hardware independent. And it works perfectly with cronyx adapters.
What is a reason for merging hardware specific support from old cronyx driver into
base system?

P.S. I'll try to translate cronyx docs into english this weekend, and submit them
as a manpage.
