I don't think that's going to work. At the very least, you need to use isacfg to tell the firmware where it is. Unfortunately, the AS200 isacfg is *extremely* buggy -- an interesting experiment is to look at the isacfg output for the WSS card, then pull the WSS, delete it with isacfg, then put it back in and try to re-add it -- there's no way to do so, because isacfg can't create its second drq entry! Generally, isacfg's Evil will prevent you from using many cards on the AS200. Thor To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
