there are, based on jmk's brazil drivers and back-ported to plan 9 by various
people (in two different ways), but it is sufficiently painful to distribute because the variant
that makes it straightforward to drop brazil drivers in, and thus keep them
up to date, also relies on changes to the pci subsystem, small changes to the
stream subsystem and i'm not sure what else. might be easier to wait for
the new release, but if you're eager, i can give you what i use.
i might be exaggerating the difficulties.
