NAME

     snd_fm801 — Forte Media FM801 bridge device driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel
     configuration file:

           device sound
           device snd_fm801

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in
     loader.conf(5):

BUGS

     The Forte Media FM801 chipset is a sort of PCI bridge, not an actual sound controller,
     making it possible to have soundless support.  One problem is that both chipsets, with and
     without sound support, use the same PCI ID.  This makes it impossible to determine which one
     is installed.
