Maybe it's possible to take those IDs (card=0x82751043 chip=0x878813f6) and temporarily patch them into the cmi driver, to try if it then will recognize the device and handle it (maybe with limited functionality)? I know a similar approach has been possible to magically activate some incompatible USB hardware... -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
