Gotcha. The picture on their web page isn't really big enough, but the device with the PCI interface doesn't look like any generic bridge part that I recognise. Without knowing much about the architecture of the card, I'm slightly surprised that they'd call it a "bridge"; it seems to be a datagram mover rather than a reflective memory interface. Still, my basic comments hold - you should be able to catch it by the device/vendor ID regardless of class. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
