    Dear James,

    I've overlooked that you didn't cc questions@freebsd.org. Because if
    this I forwared my reply to you and the list. I have two reasons for
    this. 1) Others could also help you. They may need the information you
    have provided. 2) Other could also learn from this.

    Alex

    (Is it ISA or PCI?)

    I bleave, from what i have read, that you don't requere the port you
    installed. Leave it for now.

    What have you done to get it working? (Read documentation, commands
    entered)

    You wanna read this:
