Is there a list of devices anywhere hidden in RELENG > 8 ? And if so, where can I find it ? take a look at the man page for u3g. You can also look in the source code. Often, to support slightly newer chipsets, you just need to add the device IDs e.g. see /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/serial/u3g.c There are quite a few there. Also, some devices use a different driver, especially Option can make use of the uhso driver. I dont have an experience with that. ---Mike -- ------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Sentex Communications, mike@sentex.net Providing Internet services since 1994 www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada http://www.tancsa.com/
