I have not. :( I haven't seen it work at all in 3.0, but that's because I don't run 3.0.

This involves getting documentation on that controller and seeing where it's broken. Or, re-enable the 'poll' so that it works w/out IRQ's. > >> Jan 25 23:30:51 home /kkk: Initializing PC-card drivers: ed ep fe sio > NW> This line describes all of the drivers that are configured. > I know. and in 3.0-RELEASE it works.

I have no idea which one, that's for you to find out. (Most often it is the IRQ). Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
