I don't remember which card he had, and maybe the drivers has been improved since then. But are there any cards, which do NOT work? and which work better? greatful for any response /Kristian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
