I've checked the driver cd and it had the drivers under Drivers\LAN\4401\ and I seem to remeber thats what windows once called it. The unidentified chip id isnt a supprise, the card worked, and suddenly turned into a unknown device in windows, so it must have changed somehow. So if the chip stil works then adding/changing the device id sounds like a plan. Having casted a underskilled eye at the sources I'm not sure what file to edit, but is this it?: /usr/src/sys/dev/bfe/if_bfereg.h ln 396: #define BCOM_DEVICEID_BCM4401 0x4401 (Appologies for asking, but I dont want to mess my new and shiny setup :) > Bjorn Eikeland wrote: > >> I've just changed to using freebsd on my desktop pc, my Asus A7V8X >> motherboad has a onboard Broadcom chip - this just stopped working under >> windows and turned into a unknown device.
