I'm new to *BSD in common and have just gotten my machine up'n'running. I read the FreeBSD handbook and saw that the Soundblaster Live! card should be (experimental) supported. Since I have such a card and want to use it I suppose I need to go to a CURRENT kernel, right? I installed from the 4.2-stable ISO and have the complete source in /usr/src. Then I used cvsup to retreive the current one. But while looking around in the files I found /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/NEWCARD Then one line that confused me was: # CURRENT STATUS OF CODE: NOT WORKING. Use PCCARD instead. Does this mean that I am unable to compile a working kernel out of the source codes I have? And thereby meaning that I cannot use my sound card? Thanks for any help. -- Rickard .--. .--. .-------------------------------------. | | | | .-. | Rickard Borgmäster | | | | |/ / | doktorn@sub.nu | .-^ | .--. | < | http://www.sub.nu/~doktorn/ | ( o | ( () ) | |\ \ `-------------------------------------' `-----' `--' `--' `--' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
