I have perhaps found a driver that should support the nVidia Ethernet integrated LAN, atleas accoring to this message: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=366564+0+archive/2003/fre ebsd-current/20030302.freebsd-current And now comes the really newbiequiz I think: How do I add this driver to my system, I have never ever compiled a kernel and hope I won't ever have to. But I will probably manage to do it if forced. Hopefully there's some dynamic modules for this or so... > >Thanks for your answer, I bough a SN41G2 > >(specs: http://us.shuttle.com/specs2.asp?pro_id=163) > >(and: http://www.shuttle.com/new/product/spec/SN41G2.pdf) > > > >and the only thing I know about the interface is what I wrote: > >Realtek 8201BL support IEEE 802.3u 10/100Base-T > > > >How can I find out NIC or MAC is in my system? > > "Chipset: nVidia nForce2 / MCP-T" includes Firewire & Ethernet MACs > (NICs) in some versions. > > Sorry, I don't know which (if any) driver exists for Nvidia's Ethernet. > :-( It is not listed in FreeBSD's release notes: > > http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.8R/hardware-i386.html#ETHERNET > > > Tony > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > _________________________ Contact info: Joachim Dagerot Cellular Phone: +46 70 265 57 03 EMail: joachim@dagerot.nu
