It has a Atheros nic: ale0@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x831c1043 chip=0x10261969 rev=0xb0 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Attansic (Now owned by Atheros)' device = 'PCI-E ETHERNET CONTROLLER (AR8121/AR8113 )' class = network subclass = ethernet ale0: flags=8802 metric 0 mtu 1500 options=319a ether 00:24:8c:a4:0a:b3 media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier The nic gets no carrier at all. I tried against two known-working nics with a cross-over cable and against a dsl-modem. Any idea what to try? Will happily test patches. - Marius
