And if they don't know then you need to solve the problem yourself- believe me I know, I have to build a driver for a hybrid tv card for FreeBSD because there simply is no solution. And I don't know how to build drivers- but if I start others will then help.

That's easy. Peruse the existing drivers, looking for likely candidates 
and choose one.

rename it, rip out the obviously irrelevant bits, make sure what's left 
still works then start adding bits.

Never ever ever write a program from scratch if you can modify an 
existing one to do the job,

Depending on your goals, choosing a driver that works on FreeBSD and 
Linux might be helpful.

running under xen 3.2 might be helpful too, check whether it can give 
access to a particular PCI device. Anything that saves boot time is good.
