FreeBSD has no driver for ICE1712(Envy24)/ICE1724(Envy24HT). Fortunatly, it seems that there are public data sheet. So I guess it's time to write a new driver. Quick looking the sheet shows that it has no DMA address limits on which most cheap cards impose. So it is possible to use the card on sparc64 too. If I have more time I'd like to write the driver for Envy24. Due to lack of time and the audio H/W, it's hard for me to write the driver. At present, your best bet would be commercial OSS driver of 4Front Tech. Their driver is now free for "personal and non-commercial use". But I don't know how well it supports Envy24 in FreeBSD. > Thanks for any answer, > Matej -- Regards, Pyun YongHyeon http://www.kr.freebsd.org/~yongari | yongari@freebsd.org
