I have a very similar problem with Acer Extensa 5635z on which I installed freebsd-8.0 >I see only loop deveice I also only see lo0, but the error mesages are slightly different the following text appears in dmesg output(transcribed from notepaper at Internet cafe) ath0: <Atheros 9280> irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci7 atho: 0x10000 bytes of rid 0x10 res 3 failed (0, 0xffffffffffffffff) ath0: cannot map register space device_attach: ath0 returned 6 ... alc0: <Atheros AR8131 PCIe Gigabit Ethernet> irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci9 alc0: 0x40000 bytes of rid 0x10 res 3 failed (0, 0xffffffffffffffff) alc0: cannot map memory resources device_attach: ac0 attach returned 6 Using pciconf -lv the drivers are shown bound to the devices(although the SMBus device and the 'high definition audio device' each had no driver - none0 and none1) I saw the inference elsewhere that this was related to the wlan system, where an Atheros wireless network card worked with freeBSD-6.x and not with 8.0. The network cards also don't work in linux-ubuntu9.?(04 or 10 I can't remember) with this machine. I also noticed when attempting to recompile the kernel with all the ath_* options switched on that there are conflicting structure definitions with the ath_rate_* devices - but perhaps this is intentional, I don't know. Which is as far as I got as my install cd turned to cactus as I attempted to reinstall with a larger root partition, to fit the compiled kernel. When I reinstall I can supply further information as required Thankyou -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Problem-network-devices-Acer-Extensa-5635G-tp28219409p28494831.html Sent from the freebsd-acpi mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
