FYI, the changes to get this card working was committed shortly before 4.1.1, so FreeBSD 4.1.1 and later will wouk with the ethernet out of the box. As for the modem port, that's one of those winmodem-ish devices and is not supported. Actually, I'm not *sure* it's a winmodem, but glanced at it and assumed it was. Maybe I can take another look when I get my hands on one, but in either case, there is no support currently. -- (o_ 1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2 _o) \\\_\ Jonathan Chen jon@spock.org /_/// <____) No electrons were harmed during production of this message (____> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
