I've got a gigabyte's GA-8IPE775-PRO motherboard which I believe has the same onboard ethernet card. I too had zero luck obtaining an IP address with dhcp (dhclient); however the card works fine if you forget dhcp and assign it an IP address statically using ifconfig. If you know the range of IPs your DHCP server reserves for its own use (or if, like, me, it's your local router that's assigning you an IP in a private range), just make freebsd claim an IP of its own that's within the same subnet, but not within DHCP's range, so that it doesn't clash with other DHCP clients. For example, my LAN uses 192.168.1.n as its private IP space. The gateway/router is 192.168.1.1, and it assigns IPs 100-253 via DHCP. So, I just told ifconfig to grab 192.168.1.90, and it's fine. Couldn't give you the exact configuration steps now, as I'm at work and thus on a different machine. But if you want them, give me a holler and I'll see if I can remember what I did when I get home. :) Daniel On Sun, 19 Dec 2004 11:46:58 +0100, craig <craig.freebsd@online.de> wrote: > > Here's the fix: > > http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/dev/pci/if_sk.c.diff?r1=1.51&r2=1.52 <http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/sys/dev/pci/if_sk.c.diff?r1=1.51&r2=1.52>; > > > > -- > > Michal Belczyk > > do to severe incompatibility problems with my previous motherboard's IDE and fbsd5.3, i recently purchased > a new gigabyte 865PE, complete with onboard marvell nic. :( > > from dmesg (after applying identifying patch) > ---- > skc0: <Marvell Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xac00-0xacff mem 0xfb000000-0xfb003fff irq 20 at device 9.0 on pci2 > skc0: Yukon Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T Adapter > skc0: PN: Yukon 88E8001 > skc0: EC: Rev. 1.3 > skc0: MN: Marvell > skc0: SN: AbCdEfG5ca025 > sk0: <Marvell Semiconductor, Inc.
