All are listed in the documentation as # supported. The drivers and NIC's I've tried are reported in dmesg as # (depending on which card is installed at the time, of course): # # dc0: at device 12.0 on pci0 # # xl0: <3Com 3C905B-TX Fast Etherlink XL> at device 12.0 on pci0 # # dc0: at device 12.0 on pci0 # # Have tried all other available PCI slots. All cards are functional in other # machines running MS Windows variants. The 3Com card was functional in this # machine under Windows 2000 prior to converting to FreeBSD. I can find no # other indication of conflicts between this device and any other. Check to see if you have PnP enabled in your BIOS, if it is then disable it and see if it resolves the problem or not. I've ran into some quirks with some PCI devices when PnP is enabled. -- Linh Pham lplist@closedsrc.org Webmaster and FreeBSD Geek http://closedsrc.org closedsrc.org Every solution breeds new problems To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
