Hi all, I bought a cheap 5-port USB-2.0 PCI card the other day, to plug an external hard disk drive into my aging P3/500 system. It is branded "Swann", and consists essentially of a single NEC D720101GJ chip. I'm running 5.4-STABLE ( FreeBSD gurney.reilly.home 5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #0: Thu Dec 29 20:48:25 EST 2005 root@gurney.reilly.home:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GURNEY i386 ) with essentially a stock GENERIC kernel, but with ehci compiled in (it's commented out in GENERIC). Needless to say, it wasn't detected, or I wouldn't be writing this message. Does anyone have any hints or suggestions? Might this be a case of adding a specific ID number to an existing driver, or am I just out of luck? The packaging claims to be complient with OHCI spec 0.95 and EHCI spec rev 0.95, which doesn't inspire a whole lot of confidence, considering that the driver man pages specify spec 1.0 versions. All the kernel seems to see is an unidentified bridge: pci0: <bridge> at device 7.3 (no driver attached) And even the BIOS doesn't mention it in the pre-boot PCI interrupt assignment scan (which doesn't bode well, I suspect). Thoughts, suggestions? Cheers, -- Andrew
