Hi,
In FreeBSD 4.x, is there an option to probe PCI devices not detected by BIOS?
My problem: I have an old ASUS P2B-DS motherboard based server, and want to
use a Realtek 8169 Gigabit LAN Card with it. But the BIOS does not detect the
LAN card, I don't know why. If I put the card in another computer, it is
detected perfectly. Unless this is a hardware incompatibility problem, I would
expect FreeBSD to do a better job than the old BIOS.
I would rather have an Intel card, but they not available around. :-(
