No, the moral of the story is to use the supported hardware list as a _baseline_ and then ask what's most recommended, just as I've posted in my own list at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/hw.html Just because, say, the aic0 driver is present still doesn't mean you'd want to use it if you had the choice of a better adapter/driver combo and that will always be true, no matter how good (or bad) things like the aic0 driver may be. The PC market is a dog's breakfast. A few good bits surrounded by largely offensive muck. Jordan
