This is odd; I have one of these cards, albeit *not* a pnp version. I had programmed it to use 0x300 and irq 10 and never had a single problem with it (FBSD 2.2.8). That card is presently being used on a Debian Linux box so I can't easily mess with it on FBSD. chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
