Unfortunately the NIC is not recognized by the Realtek drivers in the kernel, and it seems that later versions of the driver don't really support this particular version properly. Would it be possible for someone to help us out with getting this working on FreeBSD 6.1? Here is the information on the NIC from pciconf: class: 0x020000 card: 0x816815d9 chip: 0x816810ec rev: 0x02 Thank you, Craig D.

From mitchell at wyatt672earp.force9.co.uk Sun Apr 26 17:01:10 2009 From: mitchell at wyatt672earp.force9.co.uk (Frank Mitchell) Date: Sun Apr 26 17:01:22 2009 Subject: cd9660 Lowercasing Message-ID: <200904261455.26952.mitchell@wyatt672earp.force9.co.uk> I've developed a CD/DVD Backup Utility using the Enhanced Volume Descriptor specified in ISO9660:1999. It doesn't have Rock Ridge yet, so the first thing you notice on mounting is the automatic Lowercase, which interferes with Backup Verification using "diff -qr". There's a simple solution using the "gens" mount option, which has Case Preservation as a side-effect, but it's still annoying. There must be some reason behind it, because NetBSD and Linux have a similar feature, with options to disable it like: "nomaplcase" and "map=off". But their manpages make it look like a throwback to MS-DOS, and a time when all filenames were accessed from the Primary Volume Descriptor. By default you can't have filenames in ASCII using the Supplementary or Enhanced Volume Descriptors either. I think I tracked this feature down to cd9660_util.c, in Function isofntrans, around Line 200: <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< for (; infn != infnend; ) { infn += isochar(infn, infnend, joliet_level, &c, &clen, flags, handle); if (!original && !joliet_level && c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z') c += ('a' - 'A'); else if (!original && c == ';') { outp -= (d == '.'); break; } d = c; while(clen--) *outp++ = c >> (clen << 3); } >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This only alters ASCII characters. Accented uppercase letters from the top half of ISO8859-1 are unaffected. And it doesn't apply to Joliet either. I don't see the point. Why not just zap it away? Yours Truly: Frank Mitchell
