In freebsd there's a linux compatibility

something similar for compilation. Also freebsd (not openbsd but they're all a family
so port is likely) I used ndis to use the windows driver for a not supported at the time
wireless card in bsd. Not sure if that would be in line with other drivers as well.
That's an emulation for application binaries; it basically mimics
the syscall interface of Linux (or, with other modules, other BSDs
or older kernel versions where the API has changed). It's fine for
applications, but not so useful for kernel drivers, unfortunately.
Unless I'm thinking of something different than you are.
