It doesn't detect the card or inform anything more. So should I say that this brand new Compaq Laptop is NO GO for FreeBSD CURRENT? Just to inform you, I've tried Linux RedHat 8 and Mandrake of some brand (8.x probably) with even worse result. They don't even boot. So it seems Compaq has done it. Being totally dedicated to M$ Boring. I won't ever buy a Compaq laptop again. Pity I didn't stay with Toshiba. Had only good things to say about my Tecra 9100. Until it died electrically for me. -- Gunnar Flygt, SR
