8.0-RELEASE, and especially 8-STABLE provide alternative, much more functional driver for this controller, named siis(4). If your SiI3124 card installed into proper bus (PCI-X or PCIe x4/x8), it can be really fast (up to 1GB/s was measured). -- Alexander Motin _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
