I made a boo boo and ordered a unit with this nic onboard (truthfully, I never thought I'd have any trouble since I had done this before). Loaded 7 and couldn't find the nic. A little investigation found that the nic was the above, and a little further found that there was no support for it in the hcl's. Now I do find it hard to believe there is no way around this- I found a driver for FBSD4.5-6, is there one for 6.2 or higher? Or will this one work? Anyone know how to install it? The driver is only a c and a h file- Makefile is an empty file, and the readme tells me to rebuild the kernel after removing rl and re in the conf. Then I build the driver, and kldload it. Any idea why I'd have to rebuild the kernel? Cheers guys
