This machine probably only comes with windoze software? If you don't know the
protocol for data exchange used between the hard- and software it might be
difficult getting it to work on FreeBSD.

There seems to be a Linux program (WeatherD) that works with this
station. Maybe you can get that to work? Or you could try running the windows
softere under emulators/wine.

Can you elaborate a bit? This is too little info for anyone to help you.

If you plug the device in, do you see an ugen device being created? What does
dmesg report?

The note you reference only affected what was then CURRENT, i.e. what is now
8.0-PRERELEASE. It shouldn't bother people on 7.x.

It works.
