While not directly applicable, you might find that my experiences are useful for making your h/w operate. The issues that I had were that loading drivers for other devices blocked access to the h/w for the correct drivers. To get both devices working I've done the following: 1. build a new kernel conf file in which I disabled any NIC that was not in my system (if you have a miibus based card such as my broadcom, ensure that you leave the line: 'device miibus' uncommented. 2. disbled all the soundcards that were not in my system. Note that many newer sound cards only need the pcm driver including the Realtek device on my m/b. 3. rebuilt the new kernel (check the handbook for details) and checked to see if it shows up in the boot messages (dmesg | more). 4. if 3, configure the ethernet card using ifconfig, and check out the basic 'using sound on freebsd' article on www.onlamp.com in the bsd section. 5. if not 3, you might check to see that you have the correct device nodes in your /dev directory for the soundcard (assuming you're running under Freebsd 4x and not 5). For me these are /dev/audio* if you still can't get it to work, email me directly and we'll see if we can work though it. regards, Charles To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
