"Trying to shoehorn FreeBSD onto embedded devices - why it's not as easy 
as it could be" Adrian Chadd

Adrian has been putting FreeBSD onto some small embedded Atheros MIPS 
devices for quite some time - with varying levels of success. In this 
talk he will cover what FreeBSD-embedded looks like today, how small can 
you get your kernel and userland, where the bloat is, and what 
challenges lie ahead.

About the speaker:

Adrian has been tinkering in open source since high school. He now works 
at Qualcomm Atheros on their internal driver infrastructure. In his 
spare time, Adrian is working on 802.11n support, maintains the Atheros 
wifi driver in FreeBSD as well as co-maintains the FreeBSD net80211 
stack. Adrian lives in San Jose with no wife, no children, no pets and a 
rather large collection of embedded devices (most of which run FreeBSD.)

California (www.meetbsd.com).  Registration is open.  Note that we are 
alternating NYCBSDCon with MeetBSD California, and in 2013, it's our turn.
