The following reply was made to PR i386/17558; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Matthew Jacob <mjacob@feral.com> To: eduardo.viruena@esfm.ipn.mx Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: i386/17558: ncr1 controller is not working properly in the GENERIC kernel. Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2000 18:13:02 -0800 (PST) Why don't you try them 'sym' driver instead? I believe it's available in the 3.4 kernels now and it works for 875 cards.
