I'm aware of this, and have the code, but I'm very confused as to how to connect the dots from the Linux code to the FreeBSD kernel and drivers. The PCI ID that FreeBSD mentions as unknown is one of the mentioned ones in the doc. Now, how do I determine what to do from here? As I said, I've never done kernel/driver stuff (But am willing to learn). This is on a Fujitsu Lifebook C-6651, if that matters, with the Intel chips (ICH). Thanks for the reply.
