I just pulled in the latest i386 snapshot and installed it on my dev system (dual core P3 Tualatin) On booting the CD, i noticed that it identified the card but did not configure it. After installing and booting, it loaded it just fine. I ran a quick test on a single port at 115200 and it worked fine. > Thanks, > > Mark Thank you much for doing this! I also have a couple RocketPort cards but in looking at the FreeBSD driver, I see that this is a whole different beast. If there is enough demand for this, I would be willing to send a card to someone interested in porting the driver. Jordon
