You might try "man 4 bktr" and "man 4 meteor" on your 4.11 system; I know the current version of the bktr manpage lists supported cards for that driver. Also, there is a "freebsd-multimedia" mailing list, I believe, which might have people on it who are more finely tuned (excuse the pun) in that direction. HTH, Kevin Kinsey -- Lost interest? It's so bad I've lost apathy.
