Please CC: me in your reply. Not a very sophisticated question here. I am working on a Compaq Prolinea 590 (Pent 90Mhz). This is probably the tenth distinct FreeBSD box I have build, and not the first to use this hardware (although I used ISA network interface cards exclusively before this). Among these installs, several have become firewalls for xDSL customers. I'm just building a gateway/firewall to front my new cable modem service, and ran into a problem with the PCI network interface card. It is a GFC2204 10/100, and the readme for linux says to use the DECchip Tulip dc21x4x driver. Silly me I look up the de0 ... Digital Equipment DC21040 Ethernet adapter under FreeBSD and don't expect a problem. (the other nic is a 3c509, no problems there) Supporting the NIC doesn't look like a problem for FreeBSD, so I fire up the install floppy and tear into a 2.2.8-RELEASE install. I noticed that dmesg had some funny stuff in there but nothing I would call critical. I went through and rebuilt the kernel, etc, leaving the device de0 line in the config file of course. Now I have finished all the other configuration for the firewall, restarted the device on it's new kernel, and a little examination reveals the following from dmesg. Does anyone have a suggestion to get this working (with the current h/w preferably)? #dmesg [...] Probing for devices on PCI bus 0: chip0 <generic PCI bridge (vender=0e11 device=4000 subclass=0)> rev 0 int B irq 80 on pci0:0:0 chip1 <generic PCI bridge (vender=0e11 device=4000 subclass=0)> rev 0 int B irq 176 on pci0:0:1 chip2 <generic PCI bridge (vender=0e11 device=4000 subclass=0)> rev 0 int C irq 16 on pci0:0:2 chip3 <generic PCI bridge (vender=0e11 device=4000 subclass=0)> rev 0 int C irq 112 on pci0:0:3 chip4 <generic PCI bridge (vender=0e11 device=4000 subclass=0)> rev 0 int C irq 208 on pci0:0:4 chip5 <generic PCI bridge (vender=0e11 device=4000 subclass=0)> rev 0 int D irq 48 on pci0:0:5 chip6 <generic PCI bridge (vender=0e11 device=4000 subclass=0)> rev 0 int D irq 144 on pci0:0:6 chip7 <generic PCI bridge (vender=0e11 device=4000 subclass=0)> rev 0 int D irq 240 on pci0:0:7 vga0 <...stuff here...> rev 252 on pci0:10:0 pci0:13: vendor=0x1256, device=0x1400, class=network (ethernet) int a irq 11 [no driver assigned] [...probing isa0 follows w/ no abnormalities...] --- end dmesg --- thanks, --Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
