If you want something else for > breakfast, get up later. You're absolutely right, if your old card worked with another OS then I dont think a line adapter would make a difference. I read an interesting post in the questions list just last night however concerning what appears to be a documented problem with internal cards and IRQ assignment in the latest release of fbsd, so maybe that might prove helpful to you. The post was at http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=832035+0+current/freebsd-questions, but since your internet connection is out I've quoted the fix at the bottom of this mail Best regards, Jean-Mark jmdupx_@_yahoo.com (anti-spam - remove __ ) Problem Report kern/40636 PCI devices don't share IRQs.

My built-in USB expansion docking station (uhci1) later in the boot-up process request IRQ 9 and is denied it. How-To-Repeat An internel PCI modem gets an IRQ, other hardware requesting that IRQ are denied. Fix /usr/src/sys/isa/sio.c Change sioattach() From com->irqres = bus_alloc_resource(dev, SYS_RES_IRQ, &rid, 0ul, ~0ul, 1, RF_ACTIVE); to com->irqres = bus_alloc_resource(dev, SYS_RES_IRQ, &rid, 0ul, ~0ul, 1, RF_SHAREABLE | RF_ACTIVE); My thanks to Matthew Emmerton (matt@gsicomp.on.ca) for the solution.
