The Generic kernal is missing the if_vx driver, as is >the src/net directory.i The if_vx driver is located in /sys/pci/ and is present in the (final) 2.1.5 sources and GENERIC kernel. >>How-To-Repeat: > Install 2.1.5 on a system using the 3c5x5 card. > > >>Fix: > Must rebuild generic kernel, config files, and src distribution... Could it be that you got an early copy of 2.1.5? We botched the initial release (it had a broken 3c509 driver, was missing the if_vx driver, etc)? This would be the case if you got the bin distribution prior to July 17th. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
