-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have a Realtek RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC and an Atheros 5100ABGN wireless adapter on my notebook. FreeBSD-7 STABLE cannot configure either card. devinfo shows full info from the Realtek device and partial info from the Atheros device. In a nutshell, I have no network connectivity on this box. In PC-BSD-7, the Realtek works out of the box, but no luck with the Atheros card either. The issue here is that I don't know which modules are different from PC-BSD-7 to FreeBSD-7 STABLE. A recent thread I read on the web mentions a problem with 8168B not working in the stable or current releases (Jul/08 and Aug/08). Could any kind soul give me a couple pointers on how to get these cards to work on FreeBSD? I am using PC-BSD for now, but I'd rather use FreeBSD. Thanks to all, Demian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFI0r+7eMJU9zKPcQIRAqAfAJ9gr7xLjREX7iXBGBtL/UwbSAbeOgCdGqBk iuMvXDniKdIhzlPI2j0Yq8U= =C6QI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
