The most recent de code from Matt supports tons of these cards. I don't understand the issue people have with this... So, you have to run a more up-to-date version of the OS to deal with a certain set of cards (although I haven't seen the most recent "de" code go into FreeBSD yet...) Dunno ... the notion of kernel updates don't seem to bother Linux users... But, then again, they rarely have a choice, eh? :-) Jason R.
