Greetings; Wondering whatever further may have come of this discussion regarding FreeBSD support of the built-in ethernet for the Dell Inspiron 8500 Notebook. Running a dual-boot system with MS Windows XP and FreeBSD 4.8 Release since 5.1 wouldn't seem to install, but not even sure how to make use of drivers beyond including their device code in the kernel configuration file, which may just be an issue with this current release. Other than that, may also ask if anyone's just managed to get the Motorola SB4200 Cable Modem to work through the USB port instead. Thank you, [freebsd.hackers] Subject: Re: [hackers] Re: BCM4401 ethernet driver From: none@superig.com.br (Tony Meman) Newsgroups: freebsd.hackers Organization: TAC News Gateway Date: Jun 18 2003 02:52:22 References: 1 David Gilbert wrote: > Duncan> I am in the process of rewriting this driver for FreeBSD.

I'm running the linux/windows drivers from Broadcom site without problems. If you need more ppl testing the driver I'd be glad to help. I'm running 4.8-STABLE but could upgrade to 5.1-RELEASE if required.
