problem with ISA-controllers - maybe general?

[ANdrei]

this was the problem indeed... stupid me, i had no idea of this file and the 
things inside... turned out almost 2 years ago, when i installed FreeBSD on this 
machine, i told the setup i don't need these drivers... of course i forgot about 
this, and didn't even think that the setup writes such things down in a config 
file... well, luckily i found the answer.

all adapters working fine now :)


tks alot!
