What's the difference between an OSX kext and a Linux driver?
Since they both use a Unix "source code" could a Linux driver be modded to work in OSX?

Re: OS X
With the source code you might be able to port hardware drivers from Linux to OSX's version of BSD but it would take some in-depth knowledge of both platforms. Depending on the complexity of the driver you might end up putting in as much work into it that re-writing it from scratch would seem like a better idea.
