In FreeBSD at least the pci cards will be found before everything else. At least, with the old config. How this changes with the so called new-config (just introduced into -current) I can't say, but the order of discovery seems to be different now. What happens with PnP or pccard controllers I can't say, since I do not have any. At least in the existing FreeBSD framework I think my comment is valid. And of course for older versions of FreeBSD even moreso. --- Gary Jennejohn Home - garyj@muc.de Work - garyj@fkr.dec.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
