I've got a similar problem with a 2940AU (or is it UA ?), except this one just doesn't reset the bus or something and hence on reboot it finds no devices until it's powered off for about 30 seconds. I'm not sure if this problem is 2940AU specific, or just bad luck with the 2940AU I have, but it happens with any OS, not just FreeBSD. I'd never buy another 2940AU though as they are the cheapest tackies 2940's available. Most of the complaints about the driver seem to apply to other OS's as well, maybe the card's just aren't up to adaptec marketing hype ? Steve -- Steve Roome - Vision Interactive Ltd.
