I couldn't cross-reference "T304" on the chelsio web site, but perhaps it's based on the T3 chipset and will "just work" :) Follow the instructions in the man page with a BSD 6.3 machine to see if it works. If it doesn't, please repost the output of lspci -v here so we can see if it's a card that should work, but doesn't. -- Sean Bruno MiraLink Corporation 6015 NE 80th Ave, Ste 100 Portland, OR 97218 Cell 503-358-6832 Phone 503-621-5143 Fax 503-621-5199 MSN: sbruno@miralink.com Google: seanwbruno@gmail.com
