If you run: % pciconf -lv You should be able to pick out your unrecognised device. If you ask again on freebsd-net@freebsd.org and include relevant sections from the pciconf output, you should get to the attention of some of the guys that write network drivers. > Usually in other distros modules can be located in /etc/module however = I > cannot find where the modules are located in freebsd. Verb Sap. Calling FreeBSD a 'distro' is definitely non-U. We generally consider penguins a bit fishy round here... If you want to locate the kernel modules for various hardware, look in /boot/kernel. NIC modules will generally have a name beginning 'if_'. If you want to see what modules have been loaded into the kernel, then run: % kldstat There's also 'kldload' and 'kldunload' but they aren't going to help you for this problem. PCI devices are discovered when the kernel probes the bus at boot time: if the kernel hasn't already assigned a driver for the device, then there isn't one available. > Can I have some assistance. Keeps asking good questions and you'll get useful answers. Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
