Hi, I have Benq Joybook R43 notebook. It has network interface based on SiS 191. However, I can't configure it as it does not show up in ifconfig nor in sysinstall/configure/networking/interfaces. Dmesg says: No Driver Attached. After some search I found that someone has written a driver but it hasn't been put int the official FreeBSD release. I want to try my luck with the driver. My question is where to place the source code files? and how to compile it (I assume it can be part of a kernel rebuild if placed in the right directory) The source code for the driver consists of the 3 files: if_sis19x.c, if_sis19xreg.h and Makefile. Thanks, Amer,
