They seem to work fine but I have a couple of random questions: The card can be configured to offer a memory portal of 2K, 32K or 64K. The manual page, le(4), doesn't offer any guidance in choosing a portal size. Looking at the code, the comments say that the portal is being forced to 2K regardless of how the card was configured. Does that seem correct? I haven't heard much talk of this driver. Is it one of those really solid, well supported ones, like ed, or more one of those "still thought to have bugs sometimes for some people" drivers like ep? Are there other satisfied users of this driver out there? Thanks, ============================================================ Gardner Buchanan Ottawa, ON FreeBSD: Where you want to go. Today.
