Does PAO support this card? I hear it might. There are some patches floating around that some have reported to work with this card. What I was trying to save above is that no standard, unpatched version of FreeBSD has support for this card. And since you asked if this "card was supported", the answer is no with a twist. If you want to patch your kernel and help debug a work-in-progress, then by all means please do. Since you say that you've been following the mobile list for awhile you have undoubtly seen the patch. So if you feel up to it, grab the patch and try it out. If you don't want to do this, then the answer is still "FreeBSD doesn't (yet) have a driver for this card". :) # I've been following mobile list but gets more confused. For example, you # said it's not support but another person (I think he is the PAO people) # said a patch to 2.8 would fix it? # # I am on 3.1 now but I will downgrade it to 2.8 if necessary. Actually I think the patch floating around works on 3.1 too, so downgrading may not be necessary. -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
