I have managed to find an answer to my own question. In case anyone else wants to get an nForce2 Ethernet card running in FreeBSD 5.3 here is what I found 1. Start where you should always start. With the Handbook and the Release notes. 2. In the Handbook I found in the Glossary "Project Evil" (I also found a little info in the 5.3 Announcement). 3. The goal is to get MS NDIS drivers to run in FreeBSD using was they have dubbed "NDISulator". 4. Do a search for "NDISulator" on Google or go to http://www.xl0.org/FreeBSD/ndis.txt to get instructions on how to install the Windows Driver in FreeBSD. 5. Step five may involve prayer. I will know after I test tonight. Hello list, I have an MSI K7N420-Pro motherboard. It is based on the nVidia 2 chipset. I would like to make the onboard network card work in FreeBSD. >From what I have read 5.3 has the ability to use MS drivers in FreeBSD (Very cool). Is there any documentation out there from someone who has successfully done this? If not is there any information about how to try and make this work. Yes I could just go get another network card but I would like to avoid this as I want to move this system to a 1U rack. Thank you in advance for any assistance. Thank you, Joshua Lewis Thank you, Joshua Lewis
