Sorry for the long delay, but I don't have easy access to mail, currently ...

If some PCI card is not detected by FreeBSD, there must be some other problem.

Many people completed an installation on a system with that chip. Please give detailed information, if the problem still exists. - is any PCI chip identified ? - where are those PCI chips mapped ? - is there any warning printed by the PCI probe ?
