I have been trying to get a SoundBlaster AWE 64 to be configured under
FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE. I first tried the VOXWARE + AWEDRV from
http://multiverse.com/~rhh/awedrv and I can find the AWE, but the
SoundBlaster 16 part of the card is not found (see below).

I also tried the Luigi drivers and it gives me a (PNP) error:

	Probing for PnP devices:
	CSN 1 Vendor ID: CTL009e [0x9e008c0e] Serial 0x05cd5ff3
	This is a SB16 PnP, but LDN 0 is disabled

/sys/i386/conf/config_file

The PNP entry in the BIOS for this card is Auto. Windows95 does use the
above IRQs, DRQs, and ports.

I hate SoundBlasters ...
