I have reviewed infomation from other postings on the FreeBSD site. Other have stated that the rl driver is the driver that works with the DFE-530TX+ NIC. The DFE-530TX NIC uses a different driver, so it was real confusing to see what driver I needed. The DMESG shows the same for the GENERIC kernel and the CUSTOME kernel. It's like it does not see the card at all. I'm starting to wonder if there is a conflict with the BIOS and the NIC. Is there a way to test for conflicts with the BIOS and NIC? This would go along way in helping me understand the relationships between hardware/BIOS/OS. Thanks.
