I've recompiled the kernel with 'device miibus' and 'device bge' with no problems, and the system boots OK, but the two NICs appear as unrecognised devices when booting, and no sign of them appearing as network interfaces... >From googling around it looks like they work fine with 5.1, but I don't really want to run 5.1 on a production server yet. Any ideas? AC. -- Andrew Cleland.
