Agreed, but I wanted to push getting those patches into the driver so something would get moving :-) It looks like I prodded someone else with a similar patch including ancontrol to get around to submitting his fix. Hopefully we can work together to solve the problems in both of our patches and get something useful out of it. I do have my own version of ancontrol that I am using, but it does things I've not gotten fully cleared to release yet. dave c -- Dave Cornejo @ Dogwood Media, Fremont, California "There aren't any monkeys chasing us..." - Xochi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
