Hi, I just got a new mainboard (MSI K9N Platinum) with nvidia nforce 570/MCP55 chipset. It has a dualLAN 1Gbit ethernet adapter which I think is integrated into the southbridge chipset (nforce 570/MCP55). The mainboard manual says it's controlled by Vitesse VSC8601. I am new to FreeBSD and I did not manage to get it to work (6.2-rc2 amd64). I compiled a new kernel with this nve driver (for nvidia mcp onboard ethernet adapters) but it did not work. I tried to load all the if_* modules but none worked. Before I tried this I installed NetBSD3.1 and there it worked perfectly after the first boot (said it was an mcp55 lan adapter). How do I get this ethernet thing to work or is this chipset not supported? (mcp55 sound works as stated in the hardware list on freebsd). Help would be appreciated! Thanks...
