It means that it is not tested and listed for Linux ( which is an indicator about usability by Unix like operating systems ) . Also there is no any such name among =C2=A8All products=C2=A8 list about M= ain boards : http://www.asus.com/AllProducts.aspx?PG_ID=3DmKyCKlQ4oSEtSu5m The following board ( if your board is exactly that one ) P5K Deluxe/WiFi-AP( exact match of names is very important ) is for only XP and Vista : http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=3D0e9NyGEDLjtBRtyB If name of your board is exactly P5K Deluxe these are different from each other ( in the sense that , if one is working with a Unix-like operating system , it does not make a guaranty that the other will work ( Please see the above Linux.pdf list and products in All Products list for similar sounding names )) . It could not be possible to see your dmesg because access to sites.google.com is prohibited in Turkey . To test your main board , you may install one of the Linux ( Asus is using Ubuntu , RedHat , SuSe , Fedora ) distributions . If it works well , this may mean that FreeBSD related driver(s) has(have) problems . My expectation is that FreeBSD or any Linux will NOT work satisfactorily on that board because it is mainly produced for Windows means some circuits are not suitable for Unix-like operating systems . It may work for a while but it i= s very likely that , at some point it will crash ( from my personal experienc= e from another board ). It is not clear from you message that whether FreeBSD is installed in that board , or an installed hard disk in another board is moved to that board . If previously installed hard disk moved without new install in the new main board ( I think , this is not the case ), it will surely not work . ( If the above links do not work , please access directly to Asus site and follow links in their pages . ) Thank you very much . Mehmet Erol Sanliturk
