Recently, I replaced the NICs on a machine (old card was slow
and throwing errors). Per good reviews, I went with Intel.
However: the card is not recognized on boot, and I get:
none0@pci0:12:0: class=0x020000 card=0x118a8086 chip=0x10798086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = '82546EB Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
If I explicitly load if_em via loader.conf, everything's fine.
I'm guessing the identification codes aren't in the right
list. Who do I talk to about this?
(By the way, count me as a converted true believer in em-based
NICs.)
