Ok, I've had this problem too -- I was at the ISOC Workshops in
Geneva, and we wanted to install FreeBSD on the machines we had
there (P200 HP Vectra ?L) -- the cards available were all
3c905, and a few spare Realtek chipset-based PCI ed's.
FreeBSD 2.2.6 _with this machine_ has the exact same symptom:
- probe find the card (as ed1)
- ifconfig sees _no_ ed1.
What bugs me is the _same_ card on another 2.2.6, this
one ASUS TX-97 based, works fine. I even copied
and pasted the relevant lines from the kernel config file...
Could it be a PCI chipset bogosity ?
