The documentation talks about 5212 support which is sufficient. The 6.x hal supports all the currently available pci/cardbus parts EXCEPT for the latest single-chip/PCI-Express parts. Those parts are supported in the hal I have out at http://www.freebsd.org/~sam. No idea if/when I'll commit the hal and related mods to cvs. > > Is there something newer out there?
