There might be something to gather from the PnP stuff, but I'm not sure its enough to differentiate the cards. > I see they both have the same tuner signature.

The AverMedia (at least the one I've got) has no EEPROM, ot at least I cannot find any on the card :). It does hav a PIC processor though, but I think its only involved in the IR remote control receiver thats on my board, and which I dont know how to talk to... > So sysctl seems convenient if we "have" to resort to forcing the user to > tell us what card they've got, but auto-detecting if at all possible would > be a bug plus for usability and save a lot of questions (FR1236 tuners, > etc.etc.). I totally agree... I still miss the entry for the Avermedia though so one can select that for now.... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Søren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org) FreeBSD Core Team Even more code to hack -- will it ever end? ..
