My past posts here - I originally couldn't get Audio working, but that wasn't Toshiba's fault. There's still a bug, but for the time being I'm attributing that to the driver being young. *nothing* Likes the PCMCIA controller except windows. Even if a card gets put in and shows signs of getting power (which is rare), neither BSD nor Linux will actually be able to recognize/use the card. Also no drivers will run the intel 3945ABG card. While the BSD drivers are new, and still "beta quality", the Linux drivers are Intel, and should work. So I'm suspecting "toshiba tweaks". -Jim Stapleton On 10/24/06, Norberto Meijome <freebsd@meijome.net> wrote: > On Tue, 24 Oct 2006 15:36:41 -0400 > "Jim Stapleton" <stapleton.41@gmail.com> wrote: > > > One of which, while BSD/Linux friendly, is out of the picture for > > reasons of exceptionally immoral and frivolous lawsuites (in my > > oppinion), the other, while their support is surperb, does not provide > > drivers for anything but windows, and does weird stuff to their > > hardware. > > ( I've changed questions@ to mobile@ as I think is more relevant ) > ( Original posting at > http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2006-October/134208.html ) > > Hi Jim > do you mind explaining what issues you have found with Toshiba?
