Hello All,

I have been trying to get FreeBSD 7.0 amd64 to run on my hardware:

motherboard: ASUS P5N-EM-HDMI
chipset: GeForce 7100 / nForce 630i
processor: intel core2 quad Q6600

I have installed from the release ISO image, and everything seems to install
fine.  However, I can't seem to get the network card to be recognized.  I
have tried using both nfe and nve kernel modules, but neither one seems to
identify with the onboard network card.  dmesg reports:

pci0: <network, ethernet> at device 15.0 (no driver attached)

Is there another module that uses the drivers listed here?:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_1.25.html  Or another way to get
the network card working?  I have also considered going the ndisgen route
and trying to use the windows drivers that came w/ the motherboard, but I'm
thinking that there's a better solution to this problem out there.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Mike
