However, the newest minis have slightly different hardware, and FreeBSD can't find the built-in NIC. pciconf -lv on the new mini shows it as none3@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x168614e4 chip=0x168614e4 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' class = network subclass = ethernet The previous edition mini (that works) reports bge0@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x16b414e4 chip=0x16b414e4 rev=0x10 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' device = 'NetXtreme BCM57765 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe' class = network subclass = ethernet Is there a chance that adding the new card/chip info to the current driver would allow it to work? I'll be happy to test and report back. I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with hardware at that level to figure out the patch myself.
