Audio from Realtek ALC883 also works, but I would not know about ALC888. tkgeomap502$ uname -a FreeBSD localhost 7.0-BETA3 FreeBSD 7.0-BETA3 #5: Fri Dec 21 22:03:40 CST 2007 root@localhost:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CUSTOM amd64 tkgeomap503$ dmesg | grep -i realtek re0: <RealTek 8168/8111B PCIe Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xdc00-0xdcff mem 0xfdaff000-0xfdafffff irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci2 pcm0: <HDA Codec: Realtek ALC883> Note that I'm on U.S. cable internet, so I'm not too worried about network performance. This is on Asus M2A-VM HDMI motherboard (AMD 690G chipset). Everything works, although ACPI appears to be inaccessible. Cheers, Gordon
