Many thanks, I have it working now. Summary for anyone else who needs to do this: - fetch nvnet.tar.gz from http://cvsweb.FreeBSD.org/ports/net/nvnet/nvnet.tar.gz?tarball=1 - unpack nvnet.tar.gz under /usr/ports/net - since the network interface is not working at this moment, I had to fetch the other files into /usr/ports/distfiles/ manually: http://www.onthenet.com.au/~q/nvnet/nvnet-src-20040108.tar.gz ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nforce/1.0-0261/NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.tar.gz [this is a Microsoft FTP server, remember to set binary mode!] - cd /usr/ports/net/nvnet - in Makefile, change NVNETVERSION= 20040108 but leave NVVERSION=0261 (version 0269 is for AMD64 processors I am told) - append to 'distinfo' MD5 (nvnet-src-20040108.tar.gz) = 96730b413cb1f949f6cdadb6797740c2 SIZE (nvnet-src-20040108.tar.gz) = 17547 - make install - append to /boot/loader.conf if_nv_load="YES" Regards, Brian.
