Nope, this card is laser welded shut. I had freebsd 2.2.6 with PAO working fine with this card on a NEC Versa 6030H. The DE-660CT does auto media selection, so there is no need to toggle the card's registers manually. You are probably just having IO address or IRQ conflicts. You might have to use the IO address Windows uses. It's something like 0x120 on mine. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
