Hello again,

I sent an email to = you the other=20 day regarding a question about support for the Netgear FA311in=20 FreeBSD4.2-RELEASE. I was told to make sure that device "sis" and = device=20 "miibus" are in my kernel. They are, and I even setup and compiled = a=20 custom kernel for my pc.

I apologize if this email message = becomes too time=20 consuming--my current system is a Pentium III 933-MHz Coppermine on an = ASUS=20 CUSL2. The CUSL2 utilizes the Intel 815e chipset which I'm not too = sure if=20 FreeBSD completely supports. I checked the release notes = for=20 version 4.2 and it said that new ATA 100 controllers are=20 supported.

I booted the generic kernel and my = custom=20 kernel to check and see if either one picked up my NIC=20 successfully. When I ran dmesg for both kernels it read = something=20 like this:

sis0: <NatSemi DP83815 = 10/100BaseTX> at=20 device 11.0 on pci2

sis0: couldn't map = ports/memory

device_probe_and_attach: sis0 attach = returned=20 6

The funny thing is that also when I ran = dmesg, the=20 device "miibus" never shows up in either kernel, and each kernel=20 has that device supported. However, FreeBSD does pick up the = ATA 100=20 controller and calls it "Intel ICH2 ATA 100," and well as the other = USB=20 devices. I have the Complete FreeBSD and I also have=20 the Handbook, and I know that sis0 is dependent upon miibus because = of the=20 transceiver type. I tried it with another NIC, the Netgear = FA310. =20 Same thing happens:

dc0: <82c169 PNIC 10/100BaseTX> = at device=20 11.0 on pci2

dc0: couldn't map=20 ports/memory

device_probe_and_attach: dc0 attach = returned=20 6

It seems that FreeBSD isn't detecting = the miibus=20 device which isn't allowing my NIC to operate. Could that be = related to my=20 i815e chipset, or is there another device I have to enable in the = kernel? =20 I've also tried moving the cards around in other PCI slots and manually = setting=20 IRQs in the BIOS but that didn't work. Please respond. I = really=20 appreciate how quickly my previous question was answered. Thank = you very=20 much.
