I tend to use a more trial-and-error method. Basically, it's run "pciconf -vl" to get a listing of all hardware in the system, and then do searches in man pages, NOTES, and google to find what drivers to test for each device listed as "noneX@" (where X is a number). Most of the time, you can guess what the driver will be called based on the type off device listed in pciconf. -- Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com
