I am trying to install FreeBSD 6.0 on a Sony Vaio TX610P laptop. This laptop previously ran a Debian-based Linux distribution with little trouble. I wanted to switch to FreeBSD and did some practice installations, kernel recompiles, &c. on an old desktop machine. All went well. Today I decided to try an install on the TX610P. Installation of the base-system went well enough but the system does not recognise the NIC. The boot message given is: pci6: at device 8.0 (no driver attached) pciconf -l -v gives: none5@pci16:8:0: class=0x020000 card = 0x81e2104d chip=0x10698086 rev=-0x03 hdr =0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82562Em/EX/GX PRO/100 VM (LOM) Ethernet Controller Mobile' class = network subclass = ethernet ifconfig reports only the the loopback (lo0) and "Ethernet over Firewire" (fwe0) devices. My kernel configuration has the lines: device miibus device fxp Any suggestions? Mark -- Mark Myatt
