Oh well. 5-STABLE should be here soon, right? So it's good that it works in 5.x. I'd really like to figure out WHY it doesn't work with a 4 pin firewire controller though... The machine with the 4 pin controller is a 5.2.1-RELEASE laptop... -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
