I sucessfully ran FreeBSD 4.0 - 4.2 on a ThinkPad 570 about a year ago. Everything worked well (including audio and suspend/resume). I believe the only gotcha resides in *not* setting the pcic device to polling mode, but giving it a specific interupt. I no longer have the ThinkPad 570 as I had to give it back to my employer when I left last summer. -- Mark Evenson <evenson@panix.com> "A screaming comes across the sky.
