No, I don't know what the problem is. But hardware detection is a task
of the driver. So if there's a problem, it's either a bug in the
driver, or a bug in the low level probing/allocation routines of
FreeBSD. So if 4Front knows what the problem is, a mail to current@
should help (by either fixing the bug in FreeBSD, or by explaining what
to do in the driver).
Bye,
Alexander.
