I'm planning on removing my BeOS installation in favour of another FreeBSD installation so that I can test FreeBSD -> FreeBSD. This machine has a FA310TX, which will use the pn driver. If I dont have much luck, I think I may hack away at the driver and see what can be done. (If the author of pn/mx is looking... HELP!) > I only got my cards a few days ago. :P I'm not in a position to switch > quite yet.. I'm pretty broke too. ;P So did I, I've swapped cards 3 times in 4 days. Take a look around the "cheap" places - the au equiv of www.cheapbytes.com or something - I'm pretty sure you'll find something... I have the same problem as you with cheapbytes itself, as I am in the UK :) Cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
