This is the assumption I had as well since Intel also posts some Linux drivers for i810. But, when I talked to the tech support at the FreeBSDMall the other day, he said in no uncertain terms that FreeBSD 4.2 will not support that chip. I don't have the expertise to argue with that or to try to fix it myself. Anyway, I installed RH 7.1 with the new kernel today and it is working quite nicely. It blows the doors off that Caldera system I had. On Wednesday 16 May 2001 11:15 pm, plug@arcticmail.com wrote about Re: Which BSD?: > Hmm.
