You really have two problems; the vendor hasn't configured the PLX part correctly, so it's not coming up as a device, and secondly the 'chip' driver is totally bogus. You can still build as a KLD, but you may be forced to load at boot time. The 'chip' driver has been ditched, but you're stuck with regard to older releases (probably the entire 4.x family). -- ... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his rivals and unfortunately opponents also. But not because people want to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force people to take different points of view.
