Unless someone else has a dv6110us, this probably means either getting the system to a point where "pciconf -vl" works or extracting the PCI IDs =66rom the Windows hardware list. >(i) From the start booting worked only with acpi >disabled Not a good sign.

As Scot pointed out, you will need to use NDIS with a Windows driver. I suspect the drivers he pointed you to are 32-bit. If you're running an amd64 kernel, you will need a Windows-64 driver - and they are rarer. AFAIK, HP don't support Win64 so you probably won't find them on the HP site. Broadcom won't support end-users - they expect you to go to your vendor for support. The drivers I have originated from Toshiba. >(vii) Power management crashes everything when enabled Again, please provide details. --=20 Peter Jeremy --tjCHc7DPkfUGtrlw Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFFlhVw/opHv/APuIcRAqigAKCAfBTe8uzSZIae6UHu5NGlhc4ufgCfQta3 oFbXoaPDVlLiK9VQplMyPqw= =E3dB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --tjCHc7DPkfUGtrlw--
