>Description:
I recently bought a Netgear GA302-T Gigabit Ethernet card. FreeBSD refused to recognise it and investigation revealed that the PCI ID of my card differs from what the driver expects. I manually changed the PCI ID in the driver and the card now appears to work.
pciconf -lv gives:
bge0@pci0:15:0: class=0x020000 card=0x302a1385 chip=0x03ea173b rev=0x15 hdr=0x00
class = network
subclass = ethernet
And from the (unmodified) /usr/src/sys/dev/bge/if_bgereg.h file:
/*
* Altima PCI vendor/device ID.
*/
#define ALTIMA_VENDORID 0x173b
#define ALTIMA_DEVICE_AC1000 0x03e8
I guess it's a slightly different chip; just hacking ALTIMA_DEVICE_AC1000 to 0x03ea made the driver start working but a proper fix might be more work.
>How-To-Repeat:
I imagine the problem applies to any new GA302-T cards.
>Fix:
Update the driver to correctly deal with cards with the "new" ID :)
