I have such a chipset but it seems to work fine. It's an Epox 8K9AI with a VIA 8235 south bridge, and I'm running FreeBSD 4.7 (almost 4.8-PRE). I merged the changes from -current (didn't apply cleanly but I think I got it right) and it still works, so that is a good start :) :) -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 9A8C 569F 685A D928 5140 AE4B 319B 41F4 5D17 FDD5 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
