Hi, i'm new to FreeBSD (5.1 from CD set) and grateful for it. i've installed one machine no problems but on another a suspect ethernet interface has developed. It's an Asus p4p800 motherboard with 3C940 on the board. (i'm suspect of this much integration) At first, messing with Debian and Suse, the card worked fine. When i sent to installing FreeBSD no card was detected by sysinstall->Configure->Networking->Interfaces. Shouldn't it show up there? ifconfig doesn't see it. (i don't know how else to look for it) I plugged in another reportedly good ethernet card into a PCI slot and no kernel probe detection there either, but do get a green (carrier ?) light, but no green light on the motherboard NIC. i've googled for 3C940 diagnostics. don't know what to do next. thanks for your group and any help......... lee.slaughter@navy.mil
