It doesn't hang, and you dont get an error...but the >card doesn't transmit anything. Perhaps an interrupt assignment? Is the BIOS assigning a reasonable, non- conflict interrupt to the card? Look in the BIOS configuration and/or at irq in the probe/attach messages during the kernel startup for this. Does the card continue to work in some other PCI machine, and just not in this one? >I've used this card before (not with this MB)..is there a bug fix or something >that I've missed? There aren't any known bugs in the driver released in 2.1. -DG David Greenman Core Team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
