I had the worst ever tech phone conversation with Rainbow support about the CSwift and FreeBSD. The box says FreeBSD, the manual says FreeBSD, the website said FreeBSD. The call went similar to this: Me: I need to get the FreeBSD drivers for this card, please send them to me. Them: We don't support FreeBSD anymore. I have old drivers. Me: I don't care that you don't "support" it, I need the drivers you have. Them: They're not supported. Me: I got that. Send them to me anyway, I'll try and make it work. Them: Well the drivers aren't supported. Me: Look, the box, documentation, and website all say you have or had some support for this. Them: Where in the manual does it say that? I bet you can't find it. Me: (shouting) Page 11-153 (whatever it was, I don't have the manual anymore) says this card is supported under FreeBSD, AIX, [etc] Them: The drivers aren't supported. Me: I UNDERSTAND THAT, SEND THEM TO ME ANYWAY. Them: I'm letting you know they're not supported. In the end the drivers didn't work and I didn't have enough time to play around, so I unfortunately installed Dead Rat. If I were to do it over again, I'd buy the nCipher. --Jim -- Jim Zajkowski OpenPGP 0x21135C3 http://www.jimz.net/pgp.asc System Administrator 8A9E 1DDF 944D 83C3 AEAB 8F74 8697 A823 2113 5C53 UM Life Sciences Institute
