I have used the compiled driver on 6.3 with success- but then I've used the driver linked in a post to drivers list. 7.0 is a no go. 7.1 support may be due to the request made in the drivers list that I mentioned. Other than that, good luck! _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
