Actually, that's a case of sym(4) failing to actuate the LED rather than shutting it off. Later sym chips control the LED in hardware, but the '875 doesn't and the driver has to blink the LED. The BIOS supplied driver does, sym(4) apparently fails to do so for you. I seem to recall that there are several GPIO pins that can be used to drive a LED; possibly this Dawicontrol adapter has the LED wired to a non-standard port. In case he doesn't pipe up here, contact sym(4)'s author, Gérard Roudier . sym(4) blinks the LED just fine on my equally '875-based Tekram DC-390F. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
