Anyone got this to work? I suspect it's due to it being in a pci-e slot, but maybe not, since it does show up in dmesg. Hipoint makes their own freebsd drivers, so I figured 'slam-dunk', but no such luck. dmesg: ... pci2: on pcib2 pci2: at device 0.0 (no driver attached) ... rr2310_00: Rocket

My experience with PC-BSD was that it was just different enough to break alot of FreeBSD's documentation, and they don't have enough of their own. I was a newbie, of course, but I went with vanilla FreeBSD because of the handbook and freebsd-questions, and I've no regrets. Been at least 9 months.
