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).
