X-BeenThere: freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Discussions about the use of FreeBSD-current List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 04 Mar 2004 13:38:11 -0000 All, I have one of those nifty shuttle boxes with the nForce2 motherboard, and the onbaord ethernet isn't supported by 5.2.1. The kernel notes that there's an ethernet device there, but doesn't attach a driver to it. Doesn anyone plan to do this? There's a reverse engineered Linux driver for (forcedeth) asn well as nvidia's own drivers. My own rather hazy understanding is that it's a variant of the Realtek chipset.
