PHY is short for "physical interface" and is the chip on a network adapter that actually modulates (and demodulates) the signal over the cable, so there is no such thing as a "phy nic". What you probably have is an on-board nForce MCP2 network adapter, which as far as I know isn't supported in any version of FreeBSD. It would be easier to answer your question if you provided some more information, such as the output of 'pciconf -lv'. DES -- Dag-Erling Smorgrav - des@ofug.org
