Good afternoon, I tried to install FreeBSD 8.0 about 30 minutes ago and during the installation I encountered a problem. My network card is detected but on DHCP Server discoverage I see that no link is detected and that the driver/dhcp discovery process is giving up on trying. I understoodthat the Attansic L1 Gigabit card's support is sort of problematic due to the 'openness' of the documentation but I'd really like to know how I can help or what I can do to get this driver working on my Acer Aspire 8920 laptop. Buying another NIC for this particular thing is not really an option. Any suggestion is welcome, my C programming skills are not really to write home about so I am afraid I can't contribute much on that point but if you need test dummies or feel like I can help out or if you need more information, please let me know. Thank you for your time in advance, Patrickhelp
