The configuration utility you mentionned seems to be working properly. The RAM and cable test always fail, though, but I can *sometimes* get the Interrupt test to work. I *think* I can change the settings of the card using the given utility, however, it seems it's always reset on reboot and even windows can't do anything decent with it anymore. Morale: if it doesn't work the first time, don't bother. :) A. --CE+1k2dSO48ffgeK Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: Pour information voir http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjuOZAYACgkQttcWHAnWiGefXgCfQj69EOTTDXZrfnedVS7wkDoF DpsAn0BdRKMCj0/weB5ocU8aEvJV5xjn =qqor -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --CE+1k2dSO48ffgeK-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
