I have tried a few, my own one is an Apacer which works great, I have used some others, but they did not have brand names on them so I dont even know what they are. I am not certian, but there is a special windows driver which has existed since 98 to support these things, and every device developed I have seen just uses this generic windows driver, so I suspect it works the same way in FreeBSD (that most umass devices are identical in their driver requirements). When I purchased mine, I asked them if I could return it if it was not compatable with my OS and they said yes, so thats the best option I think, just by it from a shop which will let you return it. - jacob __________________________ http://rhoden.id.au/
