As you probably know they support Linux and the drivers can be downloaded from their website. At that time their answer was no and it was motivated by the "reduced" numnber of FreeBSD users. But they were willing to reconsider provided that more and more people are asking for it. I know that there is a driver under developement by the FreeBSD group as well. But you have to check the status. The last posting on that was dated May 2000, if I recall correctly. Cristian "O.
