My workstation desktop PC only component with Linux kernel driver but not
FreeBSD UNIX one is a media-dashboard/multi-function-hub: 5.25" front bay
panel with sockets for USB, eight memory card types, eSATA, molex power,
audio. If it worked in FreeBSD, that'd be my main OS. Hardware
information programs say the dashboard's/hub's has Alcor Micro
Corporation
chips, but I don't know if that's all, as it has audio also, but I
couldn't get that to work with a splitter.

I don't feel experienced enough to write drivers for all that, so are
any
being worked on, or are there experienced/professional computer
programmers/scientists I can pay to write drivers?

You have to get the PCI or USB IDs.

It's not plugged-into PCI, though a couple years ago people said do
'pciconf -lv' which showed nothing. I got the following information in
GNU/Linux, but I guess I'll reboot to FreeBSD and do lsusb, because
numbers may be different.

Don't know if it helps, but you can find the usb id
numbers in /sys/dev/usb/usbdevs. Neither 0x6254 nor
0x9540 are listed. It might be as simple as adding the
values and recompiling the kernel.
