I grab source code from http://people.freebsd.org/~dmlb/bfe-4.8.tar.gz At boot time, I get: pci1: <unknown card> (vendor=0x14e4, dev=0x170c) at 14.0 irq 11 When I try to insert the driver manually: module_register: module pci/bfe already exists! linker_file_sysinit "if_bfe.ko" failed to register! 17 I think I'm gone go back to Linux... cheers, Guillaume Mark wrote: > You may have to build a kernel with the > "device bge" # gig cards > "device bfe" # 10- 100 cards > entries to build the moduals, I would have thought they > were with the base system.
