It's PCI, works perfectly under Windows ME, and it is the only nic I have; however the sis driver seems to be not on the list of drivers (driver selection, graphical mode); instead it seems to be detected independently, for a year ago the same person who informed me to install from CD also told me to uncheck/delete all drivers in the list and the sis would be detected normally... please enlighten me if it is otherwise. -snip- >>-Additional information if needed: is running i686 (Intel celeron), PCI >>bridge is Intel82801AA, vendor Hewlett-Packard (HP-Pavilion), other >>existing OS: Windows ME *shudder* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
