I think I sent to the list the physical details of the card, but here they are again... On the box, there's a sticker with: "Model no.: UDS-IS11 PC/ISA P/N:970160-16" There's another sticker with "1003005" on it. On the card itself, there's a sticker with "REV: A S/N: H6808100377" and it is written "DTCT 436P 9747 002-D436P-001" On a chip. Otherwise, how can I determine what's the chip?

Yes, I remarked that it was mentionned in the handbook, but there was no associated driver. I found it weird that the handbook doesn't say which driver supports which card. anyways... > As for their other products, I have no idea > whether they'll work.

Well that's still better than no compatibility at all! :) I cc this to a friend who's got the same problems with the card, but on Red Hat... He's moving to FBSD anyways... :)) thanks for all your support!
