So, might your card be recognized under a different device name? Also, if your card is ISA, you may need to manage the IRQs for it to be detected. -- bryan k ogawa http://www.idiom.com/~bko/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
