I am not entirely sure if the module matches the card I have, but I use the sk driver for Marvell Gigabit LAN in FreeBSD. Make sure you have: device miibus device sk in your kernel config (both are necessary), and rebuild the kernel according to the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html You will need the source to do this, and if you don't already have it in /usr/src, then you can use /usr/ports/net/cvsup (which you should learn anyway, for this purpose and to use the ports collection), or you could use /stand/sysinstall to get the source from a CD or network location, although if you do that you should probably update it to the latest patchlevel of your release using cvsup when you get a chance. - jt
