Do a minimal install, then run=20 # pciconf -vl The output looks something like (showing NICs only): rl0@pci0:12:0: class=3D0x020000 card=3D0x032010bd chip=3D0x813910ec rev= =3D0x10 hdr=3D0x00 vendor =3D 'Realtek Semiconductor' device =3D 'RT8139 (A/B/C/8130) Fast Ethernet Adapter' class =3D network subclass =3D ethernet vr0@pci0:18:0: class=3D0x020000 card=3D0x764c1462 chip=3D0x30651106 rev= =3D0x74 hdr=3D0x00 vendor =3D 'VIA Technologies Inc' device =3D 'VT6102 Rhine II PCI Fast Ethernet Controller' class =3D network subclass =3D ethernet Show us what you see there. If you can identify the NIC in the output, you don't need to show the rest. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
