I've no idea if this card works under FreeBSD (I just about got it working under NeXTSTEP with the latest driver ;) but I'd advise using softset to a) turn off PnP and b) set the IRQ, etc settings of the card. Either make the settings match that which the kernel is looking for, or configure the kernel at boot (-c) and make the kernel look for the card at some place different to the default. > (besides I don't have DOS on this computer anymore) Just boot off a DOS floppy. -Paul- -- Paul Civati =O= Home: paul@xciv.org =O= http://www.xciv.org/ London UK =O= Home: paul@xciv.demon.co.uk =O= Slackware is.
