As I still believe sending around a .inf and .sys as attachment to a mailinglist isn't a good idea, I uploaded it to my webserver.

Just in case the URL above doesn't work ... well, and I forgot to mention my OS Version, right ? ;) ([mhettwer@ares] <~>)$ uname -a FreeBSD ares.meganet.local 5.3-BETA1 FreeBSD 5.3-BETA1 #7: Tue Aug 24 13:54:23 CEST 2004 mhettwer@ares.meganet.local:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/ARES i386 any more info's needed ? regards, Marian
