Hm, today I think much easy to use modules for drivers, I have
snd_ich_load=3D"yes" in /boot/loader.conf - it is enough.

No problems for me, it just works.
How you find that it does not work ? What you have tested ?=20
Probably you have volume 0 ? what shown by mixer utility ?

yes, you have two options here=20
- use ndis wrapper (project evil)
ndis.ko and if_ndis.ko, man if_ndis for details, you need get files
w22n51.INF w22n51.sys from win and put them=20
into /sys/modules/if_ndis/
- use native iwi driver from http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/=20
(commiters, please import it into tree)
I prefer iwi driver - it is much more stable for me now (but I use
6-CURRENT), before I have used ndisulator.

First option, you can ask your notebook to scale text console to
full-screen (I've used Fn-F for Sony VAIO z505S, not sure about another
models)
Second option, you can use pixel-mode console to get much better text
resolution (I have 175 cols x 64 rows for 1400x1050 LCD)
You need patch from http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=3D71142 or
upgrade to recent 6-CURRENT.
In this case you need SC_PIXEL_MODE and VESA kernel option and configure
mode with something like 'vidcontrol MODE_322'.

There are many ways to configure printer.
First, you can check whether prnter connected through USB by
cat /etc/protocols > /dev/ulpt0 (or like).
Then you need configure some print spooler, cups for example.
I do not like to install drivers manually from linuxprinting.org, often
there is good driver in gimp-print port, but it should be built with
WITH_CUPS=3Dyes.
Then follow normal cups procedure for printer configuration and print
testpage.

looks like umass0 is related to printer's card reader.
(Probably, You can put card into printer and then read it with mount -t msd=
osfs /dev/da0 /mnt)
