I don't like this card very much, because it cost me way too much time to implement workarounds for incomplete documentation and idisincracies of the board. But since i have several of these cards, and it is hard to get any other MSS board here, it is definitely supported :) > Anyway, I installed pnp971020.tgz source patched the files, then > installed the snd980215.tgz source and patched the files.

This is undocumented in the opti931 docs, and i found out by looking at the pnpinfo output. One more thing, i think the opti931 can be hardwired (and perhaps programmed -- i am not sure about this) to disable PnP. For the hardwired solution, maybe your card has a jumper to do this. For the software, you should look at the data sheets if they give any hint. cheers luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
