FYI
I`ve finished a custom install of FreeBSD 4.0 Release on a brand new
Intel
motherboard last night, the D815EEA, with integrated LAN, Audio and
Graphics.
The initial results are summarized below:
Configuration:
- D815EEA with;
* Intel 82562ET 10/100Mbit/sec (nic) component.
* Audio (Intel 82801BA+AD1885 analog codec, and Creative Labs
ES1373 digital controller
and the CS4297 Analog codec).
* Intel 82815E Graphics and Memory Controller Hub, the Graphics
controller.
- Pentium III 733/133MHz CPU.
- 128MB PC133 SDRAM, non ECC.
- IBM Deskstar 18GB IDE disk.
- CDROM/floppy/....... etc
The initial install went OK, and after the first reboot I noticed that
it did not recognice a
valid ethernet controller. I really expected it to see a "fxp" device,
but no.
I have not tested the audio or graphics parts yet. I expect that I won`t
be able to use the
older 810 chipset support in XFree86. This board has an AGP4x port,
however.
I will disable onboard LAN for the time being, and install another nic
for further testing
of the board. The board are really fast and seems very stable. All i all
a nice board.
Are there anybody working on support for these new Intel LAN components?
I will also install an AGP Graphics card for further testing, I do not
expect that the
new Intel graphics chip will be supported soon.
