Thanks, I'd greatly appreciate it since I don't have any -stable machine where I can plug in a controller. Be aware that the driver is based on a beta-quality Linux driver.

I wanted to make it clear that this is for the version 2 controller. Putting a 2 in the name was the only way which occurred to me. I tried to make all the printf's look like "ifpi2-", but I guess I missed some :( -- Gary Jennejohn garyj@jennejohn.org gj@freebsd.org ------------------------------------------------------- -- Gary Jennejohn garyj@jennejohn.org gj@freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
