Hi,
I had just the same problem. I have 2 X2200, only broadcom NIC detected and
alom deactivated.
To solve this you will need to recompile your kernel. I have done this:
a) patch nvidia driver:
follow steps in:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2006-November/020926.html
b) disable broadcom driver for compiling:
cp /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/MYKERNEL
vi /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf/MYKERNEL
- here comment out lines for broadcom NIC:
#device bce # Broadcom BCM5706/BCM5708
Gigabit Ethernet
#device bfe # Broadcom BCM440x 10/100
Ethernet
#device bge # Broadcom BCM570xx Gigabit
Ethernet
For NVIDIA
- be sure you have nvidia active
device nve # nVidia nForce MCP on-board
Ethernet Networking
c) compile and install kernel:
cd /usr/src/sys; make buildkernel KERNCONF=MYKERNEL;make installkernel
KERNCONF=MYKERNEL
d) reboot
That's all.. Don't forget to set ip address for new nvidia NIC in
/etc/rc.conf
Hope it helps
Martin
