To find the vendor/device IDs of your card use "pciconf -lv", and look for entries similar to the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0:20:0: class=0x0c0500 card=0x309b103c chip=0x43721002 rev=0x11 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'ATI Technologies Inc' device = 'IXP SB400 SMBus' class = serial bus subclass = SMBus Scot ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Have you tried loading puc? Unfortunately I think you will need to recompile your kernel because it is not in GENERIC and not available as a module. Look at /usr/src/sys/dev/puc/pucdata.c for a list of vendor/device IDs (and add yours if it isn't there). -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
