I originally posted to -hardware, but no response yet... The Broadcom 440x NIC in my new Dell Inspiron 700m is not being recognized during boot. FreeBSD 5.2.1 downloaded several days ago. Install was pretty straightforward, though the post-installation only lets me configure ppp and slip, and the "help" message at the bottom seems to indicate that I was supposed to have already configured my network connection during the installation process... Which I don't recall doing... No patches/ports done as there is no ethernet... I am reasonably certain the BFE driver "should" work for this NIC. "man bfe" certainly makes it sound like it ought to... The BIOS has a way to turn the NIC "OFF" and I have it "ON" The BIOS also allows the WiFi to be "OFF" or "ALT-F2" to turn it on/off from Windows... It is set to "ALT-F2" (on until turned off) I've been searching and reading docs for days now, so could not possibly list everything I've read/tried, but I am at the end of my rope here... I will paste below excerpts from: dmesg -v /var/log/messages (*) pciconf -v (prolly no more than dmesg -v, but...) *showing my attempt to kldunload/kldload /boot/kernel/if_bfe.ko COMPLETE output, in case I'm trimming too much, is available at the BOTTOM of this web page: http://phpbootcamp.com/articles/inspiron700m.htm where I am documenting my experience in installing FreeBSD on this laptop for others who may (or may not) find it useful. Note that page is very much a work in progress at this time -- there are quite a few links to be added and place-holders to be fixed. Needless to say, anybody who tells me how to fix this NIC will be credited there pretty much until I die, if not longer. :-^ dmesg excerpts I think are relevant: pci2: <network> at device 1.0 (no driver attached) cbb0: <PCI-CardBus Bridge> at device 4.0 on pci2 pcib1: device cbb0 requested unsupported memory range 0x88000000-0xffffffff (decoding 0x0-0x0, 0x0-0x0) cbb0: Could not grab register memory device_probe_and_attach: cbb0 attach returned 12 cbb0: <PCI-CardBus Bridge> at device 4.1 on pci2 pcib1: device cbb0 requested unsupported memory range 0x88000000-0xffffffff (decoding 0x0-0x0, 0x0-0x0) cbb0: Could not grab register memory device_probe_and_attach: cbb0 attach returned 12 fwohci0: vendor=104c, dev=802e fwohci0: <1394 Open Host Controller Interface> mem 0xe0200000-0xe0203fff,0xe0209000-0xe02097ff irq 10 at device 4.2 on pci2 fwohci0: latency timer 32 -> 32. fwohci0: cache size 8 -> 8. pcib1: device fwohci0 requested unsupported memory range 0xe0209000-0xe02097ff (decoding 0x0-0x0, 0x0-0x0) fwohci0: Could not map memory device_probe_and_attach: fwohci0 attach returned 6 pci2: <mass storage> at device 4.3 (no driver attached) pci2: <network, ethernet> at device 5.0 (no driver attached) Output from when I unload/load the BFE driver: Sep 6 19:51:14 kernel: cbb0: <PCI-CardBus Bridge> at device 4.0 on pci2 Sep 6 19:51:14 kernel: cbb0: Could not grab register memory Sep 6 19:51:14 kernel: device_probe_and_attach: cbb0 attach returned 12 Sep 6 19:51:14 kernel: cbb0: <PCI-CardBus Bridge> at device 4.1 on pci2 Sep 6 19:51:14 kernel: cbb0: Could not grab register memory Sep 6 19:51:14 kernel: device_probe_and_attach: cbb0 attach returned 12 Sep 6 19:51:14 kernel: fwohci0: vendor=104c, dev=802e Sep 6 19:51:14 kernel: fwohci0: <1394 Open Host Controller Interface> mem 0xe0200000-0xe0203fff,0xe0209000-0xe02097ff irq 10 at device 4.2 on pci2 Sep 6 19:51:14 kernel: fwohci0: Could not map memory Sep 6 19:51:14 kernel: device_probe_and_attach: fwohci0 attach returned 6 Excerpt from pciconf: none7@pci2:1:0: class=0x028000 card=0x00031028 chip=0x432414e4 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' class = network none8@pci2:4:0: class=0x060700 card=0x018d1028 chip=0xac8e104c rev=0x00 hdr=0x02 vendor = 'Texas Instruments (TI)' class = bridge subclass = PCI-CardBus none9@pci2:4:1: class=0x060700 card=0x018d1028 chip=0xac8e104c rev=0x00 hdr=0x02 vendor = 'Texas Instruments (TI)' class = bridge subclass = PCI-CardBus none10@pci2:4:2: class=0x0c0010 card=0x018d1028 chip=0x802e104c rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Texas Instruments (TI)' class = serial bus subclass = FireWire none11@pci2:4:3: class=0x018000 card=0x018d1028 chip=0xac8f104c rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Texas Instruments (TI)' class = mass storage none12@pci2:5:0: class=0x020000 card=0x018d1028 chip=0x170c14e4 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' class = network subclass = ethernet Any help is appreciated!
