Try booting with a generic kernel and see what device is it in dmesg. I use
a FA310TX and the driver is dc w/ miibus.

Subject: Installing Netgear FA311TX card


Thanks for all of the suggestions regarding my earlier installation
difficulties. After yanking both the ethernet and the sound cards, I
was able to complete installation.

However, now I am trying to install the ethernet card, a Netgear
FA311 card , without any success. I've tried using the 3rd ed of
Lehey's The COmplete FreeBSD as a guide.

I've tried to rebuild the kernel with:

device	pn

as the driver for my ethernet card (it was in a table of network
interfaces in the book).

After running config, it says that 'pn' is an unknown device. I then
make depend/make/make install the kernel, reboot, go to configure the
interface ... and it isn't there.

I try to 'sh MAKEDEV pn0' in /dev; same thing. No luck.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

Paul
