Subject: quick question as to which list I want
Message-ID: <80f4f2b20607200729o26cc0c2bwebbea605e15a4457@mail.gmail.com>

please reply to this mail, as I've not joined either of these lists yet.

I've never written a driver before, but there are no drivers for my
notebook's sound chipset, and I want to get one written, so I can have
some sound. My notebook is an i386 notebook, and I was wondering
should I use the general "freebsd-drivers" list, or the ia32 list?

Thank you,
-Jim Stapleton

For a sound driver you actually might want to try on freebsd-multimedia@ 
first.  This list can help if you have questions that aren't specific to 
sound once you get going.
