Hi, Thank for your help. It is possible to upgrade to version 7 without reinstalling? If yes, how can I do this?

My first guess would be that there are two *different* LAN controllers - = one connected to the PCI bus and the other via PCI-E most likely. The one that appears in ifconfig is probably the PCI one, while the = PCI-E connected one is likely a newer chip which is not supported by = 6.2. Checking the documentation for the motherboard verifies this guess. Your = MB has a Marvell 88E001 (connected via PCI) which is supported by = FreeBSD 6.2 using the sk(4) driver. It also has a Marvell 88E056 PCI-E = chip which is not supported by 6.2. The good news is that 7-CURRENT and 6-stable should both support the = 88E056 NIC using the msk(4) driver. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
