I have tryed with KXQWDH-7001C interface card. =D6=E8=F2=E0=F2 =ED=E0 =EF=E8=F1=EC=EE =EE=F2 Bernd Walter <ticso@cicely12.c= icely.de>: > On Fri, Jul 01, 2005 at 01:44:45PM +0200, Poul-Henning > Kamp wrote: > > In message <000601c57d7c$6898aca0$1700a8c0@radyk>, > "Dimitur Ivanav Dimitrov" wr > > ites: > > >Hi, > > >I am a new in FreeBSD and have a little problem.
