Afterwards reboot, since the pkg-message states, users of 7.X and above shouldn't use kldload but loader.conf instead (why's that by the way???). Still no luck. The card doesn't get recognized. And it used to work, as I wrote in my initial mail. I even plugged the card into a different box to verify that the hardware is okay. It is! best regards, Marian > >
