(Sorry) No problem.. I knew there was no support for the SCSI devices when I set the box up, so I threw in the appropriate Adaptec controller to begin with. :-) This thread really started because I mistakenly thought the ThunderLAN driver might work with another older Compaq NIC I have. I wasn't aware that is was solely for a newer breed of cards Compaq was using. -- Chris Dillon --- cdillon@inter-linc.net --- cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us /* FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
