Well if you don't mind, then take a look at the supported hardware page and try to match up. but if you didn't understand my question: The 'chipset' referers to the type of card it is, the same way you'd tell someone (about your video card) "It's a Diamond Stealth Viper 2000, or it's a ATI Fury." Well we need to know the actual designer and what chips the designer chose to slap onto this card. Otherwise how are we to know if we have a driver or not? -Alfred > > Thanks for replying, > Robert > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
