It might also be interesting to try > swapping this with a genuine Cyclades product.. :-) Yup! We had one hell of a time finding a dealer for any kind of decent card here in Germany. We started out by ordering a 2 Riscom/8 port cards which on closer inspection turneded out to be a CD1400 boards. ;-) After initial hair pulling and a short "grep 1400 *" in /usr/src/sys/i386/isa we decided to go with the cy driver. ;-) Anyway should all else fail I will stick the thing into an isa board. I'll have to update the 2.0r installation on the machine to 2.1 before though. ;-( Looks like were in for more hair pulling tonight ;-( Greetings Christian -- TopLink GbR, Internet Services info@toplink.net Christian Kratzer http://www.toplink.net/ Phone: +49 7452 87174 Fax: +49 7452 87175 FreeBSD spoken here!
