If you have multiple cards that were working in 3.x that don't work in 4.0 then it sounds to me like the driver is broken. That happened to my Future Domain 850. It worked in 2.x and then in 3.x the support for it went away. Josh > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
