But don't worry you can get the missing driver in no time. Just follow the instructions there in the README ...


DesktopBSD 1.7 snapshot

First remember it's an early snapshot, so there will be certainly some problems! But apart from that it's DesktopBSD based on FreeBSD 7.0R. I did a first test, there are some minor quirks with the mounting tool and the scheduler is SCHED_4BSD, so it has got a performance drop especially ...
