If I grep for unknown, I get the following: > > -su-2.05b# dmesg | grep unknown > pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x8086, dev=0x2483) at 31.3 irq 10 > pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x8086, dev=0x2485) at 31.5 irq 10 > pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x8086, dev=0x2486) at 31.6 irq 10 > > I assume by your "unfortunately" remark, that this is not supported at > this time. From the PCI device listings at http://www.yourvote.com/pci 0x8086 / 0x2483 -> SMBus Controller 0x8086 / 0x2485 -> AC97 Audio Controller 0x8086 / 0x2486 -> AC97 Modem Controller I have all 3 of these unsupported devices on my laptop (running 4.6-RELEASE). I've heard that some of these are supported in -CURRENT, but I'm not sure and wouldn't advise running it on your system yet. (It hangs my laptop on boot.) -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
