I also know a guy who has 4 port version of this card on OBSD-3.7 and I am also pretty sure it's in a 1U server- so it's probably indicates a pci riser. I'm wondering if this is something specific to the Tyan B5151?? These are pretty popular units so I would think others would have run into similar issues if it were the server hardware. I've gone through the BIOS and turned everything off so as to minimize potential for any irq conflicts but it's still no joy. -- Best regards, Ken Gunderson Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation.
