Agere used to be the Lucent Microelectronics division, so I assume the Agere FW323-06 is the essentially the same thing as the Lucent FW323, which is listed as supported by the fwohci driver. Perhaps tomorrow I'll remember to submit a PR suggesting that the hardware list be updated to reflect the name change, but tonight I need to get some sleep. I also found a posting on freebsd-firewire that said the "Adaptec FireConnect 4300" works with FreeBSD. > > Can anyone tell me if either of these cards will work with 5.4-RELEASE, or > recommend another inexpensive PCI Firewire card? > It sounds like either of these will probably work with FreeBSD 5.4. - Bob
