The 958 *is* supported by FreeBSD, although the driver does not take full advantage of this card's features. >The URL for this page is http://www.dandelion.com/Linux/ > >He seems to get fantastic support from the Mylex people and I dont see >why the same cannot be true for us. It's never been about getting support from Mylex. Its a matter of having someone with the knowhow for updating the driver having the time to do the work. >-Reggie -- Justin T.
