Hi, I had just the same problem. I have 2 X2200, only broadcom NIC detected and alom deactivated. To solve this you will need to recompile your kernel. I have done this: a) patch nvidia driver: follow steps in: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2006-November/020926.html b) disable broadcom driver for compiling: cp /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/MYKERNEL vi /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/MYKERNEL - here comment out lines for broadcom NIC: #device bce # Broadcom BCM5706/BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet #device bfe # Broadcom BCM440x 10/100 Ethernet #device bge # Broadcom BCM570xx Gigabit Ethernet For NVIDIA - be sure you have nvidia active device nve # nVidia nForce MCP on-board Ethernet Networking c) compile and install kernel: cd /usr/src/sys; make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL;make installkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL d) reboot That's all.. Don't forget to set ip address for new nvidia NIC in /etc/rc.conf Hope it helps Martin -------------------------------------------------- >Hello, >Is anybody runing FreeBSD on the X2200 or X2100 ? >I have problems with the lights-out management (Sun calls it LOM) >The machine has 2 broadcom NIC ports and 2 nvidia...
