Hello; A while ago, a matter of a few months I inquired of this list regarding installation of FreeBSD v6.0 on ASUS M2N32 WS Pro motherboard. I was not able to set up dual ethenet inter faces as the only option presented by sysinstall when configuring enet interface was fw30 as firewire ethernet emulation. I was advise to upgrade to v6.2 which I have just done. I still do not have more than the fwe interface presented. The response to the original message, I can not find, but I was told that the motherboard was probably one with new Marvell interfaces. Now, I have looked at the features listed on the motherboard package and there it is; 2x Marvell 88E1116 PHY Is there a driver that has to be activated by kernel config setting or what is the status of support for this hardware in FreeBSD? I just looked through the supported hardware/ethernet devices for the i386 architecture and did not find any reference to Marvell. I purchase a cd set of v6.2 cds from FreeBSD Mall (not inplying any criticism, just that it represents a method of contribution to this project). This is frustrating because this machine is supposed to be a production web server. Hardware including dual 15K SCSI drives and adapter has run in the neighborhood of $1000 and it still is not useful for it' intended purpose Any info or advice appreciated Thanks in advance; Jeff K
