I'm coming in in the middle of this thread, but here's one from July 2006: kern/100839 No one from the FreeBSD community ever responded on it. I thought that I'd even suggested removing the driver entirely, due to this showstopping bug, and removing its listing as compatible, but now I can't find an archived reference, so maybe it was in my head. I love FreeBSD, and I used it on a daily basis, but there's an example, if you're genuinely interested. Erik
