It wasn't even detected until I downloaded the FreeBSD 6.0 driver. Once I installed the driver, DCHP worked like a dream and I was right on-line. However, when I installed, 6.1, I lost connectivity again. Does anybody know if Marvell's 6.0 driver is incompatible with 6.1? -- Aaron On 5/29/06 18:56, "Olivier Gautherot" wrote: > Hi Aaron! > >> Thanks, I changed the RAID configuration to RAID1 and reloaded the OS and >> for some reason it is now booting up properly.
