This includes the Intel i915 chipset. I'm looking for ethernet (not wireless) drivers for it, the fxp driver reluctantly loads, but doesn't recognize that there's a compatible card in my system. I'm running the stock FreeBSD 5.3 system, cleanly installed. The GENERIC kernel is still what's on there. I see this: root# kldload -v if_fxp module_register: module pci/fxp already exists! Module pci/fxp failed to register: 17 module_register: module cardbus/fxp already exists! Module cardbus/fxp failed to register: 17 module_register: module fxp/miibus already exists! Module fxp/miibus failed to register: 17 Loaded if_fxp, id=4 root# kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name ... 4 1 0xc1f23000 8000 if_fxp.ko However, ifconfig does not show an interface to this card (it shows lo0 and fwe0, which I think is the firewire ethernet driver). Any clues? It looks like a fix has been applied to the fxp driver, in time for rel 5.3, that should have added alviso chip support. Maybe I'm missing some other core logic driver, I really don't know. thanks, -Nick
