Last weekend I obtained a Gigabyte GA-8IK1100 motherboard with an 875P/ICH5 combo. A number of devices didn't work on 5.1-RELEASE. The devices which didn't work are the Intel Ethernet, SMBus, audio, and USB 2.0 controllers, and the Realtek ALC655 codec. I managed to get all of these working execpt the USB controller by doing some easy hacks to the source (not bad for my first shot at FreeBSD kernel code). There are various PRs for these issues, including: kern/52927 Ethernet controller kern/54176 Audio and ALC655 kern/55094 USB 2.0 controller I submitted a bug for the SMBus controller last night (before the USB 2.0 one listed above), but it seems a PR still hasn't been assigned. I hope I didn't accidentally cancel my send-pr submission. If you'd like my patches for all of these (except the USB 2.0 one, which doesn't work and I think might be totally wrong), just let me know. You'll probably have to stitch them into the source by hand unless you're running 5.1-RELEASE, but at least they'll be a reference to work from.
