I found it interesting that while 4.10 finds my pccard, it doesn't find the Xircom ethernet card, but 6.0-R does (as well as ACPI support). Anyway, in the 4.10 output, you can see on line 87-88 it finds ad0 & acd0, but on 6.0 it only finds ad0. 4d2eff2dbf1392b85e8c3bcbbe5d3b20 *FBSD_410-R.txt.gz 61fd8173b9cad4848eb4e61b3e06b310 *FBSD_60-R.txt.gz Thanks in advance ____________________________________________________ On Yahoo!7 Messenger - Make free PC-to-PC calls to your friends overseas. http://au.messenger.yahoo.com --0-58833803-1142653630=:66087--
