Doesn't anyone know if FreeBSD supports this hardware, or ? I know now for a fact that the Marvell NIC is NOT supported, but what about the rest of the hardware, like the RAID controller, etc? Must I maybe post more information about this board? I mean, it's like an entry level Intel server board, I just want to hear from somebody that is using it that it actually works with FreeBSD (well, excluding the second NIC of course. ;)) Anyone? Even if it is just "Do not buy that, it will not work." Thank you in advance. ---Jaco >Hi all, > >I am not quite sure if this question belongs on freebsd-questions@ or >freebsd-current@ , but I will try here first. > >Does anyone know the status of the support for Marvell gigabit nic's ? >Escpecially the ones that is shipped with the Intel SE7320VP2 Server board >which is Marvell 88E8050. > >I read in the archives that somebody is busy working on it, but I can not >seem to locate any more info on this. > >Basically I do not care if there is support for 1000Mbit, I just want to >use the card, even if it is in 100Mbit mode. :) > >I want to use this on 5.4-STABLE or maybe 6-CURRENT, seeing that 6-CURRENT >is more or less stable (well, way more than 5-CURRENT was in the early >days anyway :P ). > >Does anyone perhaps know if this is possible? > >Thank you in advance. >--Jaco
