Hello all, I don't know if this is the correct list to post to about this issue, but I have seen similar issues being discussed here before. I have an ASUS A7N8X DeLuxe motherboard with the nFORCE2 chipset and I am running FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE-p4. The board runs FreeBSD quite well, but there are several issues I was wondering about. First, driver support for the onboard NIC:s. Using Google I found that one of the NIC:s was supported in 5.0-CURRENT and so I upgraded. After tracking CURRENT for a while though, I lost FireWire support and therefore contact with my LaCie PocketDrive. This made me go back to 5.0-RELEASE and I could again access the PocketDrive. I don't think Windows could do this... Furthermore, there is support missing for the onboard audio, USB2 (I think, haven't tried it) and Serial-ATA (although I don't use this) and something about the memory. From the dmesg output I get: bash-2.05b$ grep driver /var/run/dmesg.boot pci0: <memory, RAM> at device 0.1 (no driver attached) pci0: <memory, RAM> at device 0.2 (no driver attached) pci0: <memory, RAM> at device 0.3 (no driver attached) pci0: <memory, RAM> at device 0.4 (no driver attached) pci0: <memory, RAM> at device 0.5 (no driver attached) pci0: <serial bus, SMBus> at device 1.1 (no driver attached) pci0: <serial bus, USB> at device 2.2 (no driver attached) pci0: <network, ethernet> at device 4.0 (no driver attached) pci0: <multimedia, audio> at device 5.0 (no driver attached) pci0: <multimedia, audio> at device 6.0 (no driver attached) pci2: <network, ethernet> at device 1.0 (no driver attached) pci3: <display, VGA> at device 0.0 (no driver attached) I am curious about the rows saying "<memory, RAM>". What dows this mean? I am also wondering if there are any plans to support this motherboard (or rather this chipset) any further?
