[-- Attachment #1 --] I recently got a Supermicro C2SBA motherboard http://supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Core2Duo/G33/C2SBA.cfm and I have just found that the ethernet chip is not detected in 6.2 :( It appears to be supported in HEAD but I'd rather not use that. I did try a quick hack MFC for test purposes but it appears the em(4) driver uses lots of wizz bang features :) I had a look on Intel's site but that just points to FreeBSD.org.. Are there any plans to MFC it? I will have a deeper look on Monday to try my own MFC again, although since I am lazy I'd prefer if someone's already done the work :) Failing that.. Any idea how hard it would be to add the ID for this controller to the driver in 6.2? (ie does it need magic not present in the driver) -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBG8jPE5ZPcIHs/zowRAl3AAJ9iuzcoa7QYPiRddYHE652M23bFmwCeKLiw dLnMy5HzCzqBYxCX1bjvjE4= =3Csp -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
