This was the prime reason my last laptop needed PAO. It had a 6729, but didn't live in the usual 0x3e0 spot. I would like to very carefully merge some of the pcic_p.c initialization routines from PAO to -current. Or at least try. I would not, however, like to be beaten to a bloody pulp for doing so. :-) -- echo afnlre@dhnpx.xsh.pbz |\ : Anita Hill then, Paula Jones now. tr 'a-z' 'n-za-m' : or remove nospam in From: line : What goes around, comes around. http://www.kfu.com/~nsayer/ : To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
