This has the Intel 82562ET PHY chip; I'm not sure about the P4S533, but perhaps it is the same. I installed bsd without the LAN, and then had to compile the kernel with fxp. That still wasn't enough: I needed a patch. Here is the link that saved the day: http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/145/2002/6/50/9058043/ And here is the patch: >Add an entry to sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c to catch the new chipset. > >--- if_fxp.c Sat Jun 29 03:07:03 2002 >+++ if_fxp.c-patched Sat Jun 29 03:06:43 2002 >@@ -160,6 +160,7 @@ > { 0x1037, "Intel Pro/100 Ethernet" }, > { 0x1038, "Intel Pro/100 Ethernet" }, > { 0x1039, "Intel Pro/100 Ethernet" }, >+ { 0x103A, "Intel Pro/100 Ethernet" }, > { 0, NULL }, > }; > Recompiled the kernel and rebooted. Then /stand/sysinstall at some point to configure the fxp with my ip's. Rebooted with a cable plugged in and it found the connection!
