Fergus, The xe driver is not available as a loadable module, so you will not get any if_xe.ko file in /modules. This is also normal. The most likely problem is in the IRQ assignment. How is your pcic device configured? Can you provide a dmesg of the system bootstrap. FWIW, BSD Unix has not ever had network devices in /dev, going back to BSD 4.2. It's possible that some other flavors of Unix do it differently, though. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
