Hello All,
I have been trying to get FreeBSD 7.0 amd64 to run on my hardware:
motherboard: ASUS P5N-EM-HDMI
chipset: GeForce 7100 / nForce 630i
processor: intel core2 quad Q6600
I have installed from the release ISO image, and everything seems to install
fine. However, I can't seem to get the network card to be recognized. I
have tried using both nfe and nve kernel modules, but neither one seems to
identify with the onboard network card. dmesg reports:
pci0: <network, ethernet> at device 15.0 (no driver attached)
Is there another module that uses the drivers listed here?:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_nforce_1.25.html Or another way to get
the network card working? I have also considered going the ndisgen route
and trying to use the windows drivers that came w/ the motherboard, but I'm
thinking that there's a better solution to this problem out there.
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Mike
