This may be understood by removing case and inspecting connection points visually . If there are connections to the main board , but they are not recognized by pciconf , it means that they are not conforming to PCI definitions ( main board may be an old model , having ISA ports ) . If you know producer and model of the main board , its producer web site may contain main board definition . If such a definition does not exist in the producer site , searching internet may bring archived pages . If the main board is an old model , trying previous FreeBSD releases ( 7.x , 6.x , 5.x , ... ) may reveal what is on it , because it is very likely that previous FreeBSD releases will be able to identify their ports . Thank you very much . Mehmet Erol Sanliturk
