I'd like my 8-STABLE/amd64 machine to recognise this card. The relevant bits of "pciconf -lcv" is: none2@pci0:4:6:0: class=0x070103 card=0x2000a000 chip=0x98659710 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'MosChip Semiconductors (Was: Netmos Technology)' class = simple comms subclass = parallel port cap 01[48] = powerspec 2 supports D0 D3 current D0 However, a verbose boot reveals: ppc0: cannot reserve I/O port range ppc0: failed to probe at irq 7 on isa0 which is due to /boot/device.hints of: hint.ppc.0.at="isa" hint.ppc.0.irq="7" How can I configure my system to recognise the parallel port on the PCI bus? Cheers. -- Jonathan Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Opportunities are seldom labeled
