I recently installed FreeBSD (latest stable) for the first time. There is a=
=20
problem, that the network is not recognized. The networking section of=20
sysinstall does not offer an ethernet option.

The machine has an Asus A7N8X-X motherboard, with on board LAN chip, descri=
bed=20
in the handbook as MCP integrated NVIDIA MAC + Realtek 8201BL PHY.

Does FreeBSD have drivers for this? If so, I assume a kerel recompile is=20
necessary?

Any help would be gratefully received
