PHPig I have a 3Com Ethernet adapter which uses the Davicom 9102AF chip. It has worked in the past under FreeBSD 4.9. I recently reinstalled 4.9 on that computer and the ethernet adapter now won't pass probe-and-attach. This may be due to something I did in the bios or it may be that the 9102 chip doesn't reset correctly. If I can track this down on my machine i'll let you know. Meanwhile ... Please post your dmesg output and the result of uname -a so that we can see what your machine is trying to do.

Dear all, I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.10 on a very old box (unfortunately, the only one I can access for now). The installation runs smoothly (via CDROM, using release iso), but FreeBSD failed to recognize the ethernet adapter, DAVICOM 9102 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter (recognized by Belarc Advisor, before I wiped out the Windows on it). I have searched the mailing list as well as the FreeBSD website, seems the only related article was posted at http://people.freebsd.org/%7Ewpaul/Davicom/ loooong time ago. The article aslo mentioned that this adapter should be supported by version 4.0+. Based on the 4.8 release note, there should not be any problem with this particular adapter. Yet I have tried installation twice, both failed to recognize it. Could you please help me out? Many thanks.
