Based on what I can tell his 8.1-based pfSense box detects the card and binds it to re(4) -- look closely at the first few digits of the first pciconf line. Whether or not the card actually **functions properly** in 8.1 is a different story altogether. The OP doesn't explain what "unable to use it" means. My guess: it's probably a revision of card that 8.1 did not have proper code for. As such, I would strongly suggest running 8.2. If the card doesn't function correctly in 8.2, there are folks here on the mailing list who can help with that. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, US | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
