The card is an Intel InBusiness 10/100. Find out what the device ID is. I have an 82559 card running right now, and it ran under 3.1-RELEASE as well as it's software compatable with the 82557/8. Under -current: pciconf -l reports: fxp0@pci0:11:0: class=0x020000 card=0x000c8086 chip=0x12298086 rev=0x08 hdr=0x00 Under 3.1-release (network installed from floppy), and later upgraded to 3.2-stable: Aug 30 12:59:14 auth /kernel: FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE #0: Mon Feb 15 11:08:08 GMT 19 99 [..] Aug 30 12:59:14 auth /kernel: fxp0: <Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100B Ethernet> re v 0x08 int a irq 11 on pci0.11.0 Aug 30 12:59:14 auth /kernel: fxp0: Ethernet address 00:90:27:58:42:9f The card was an OEM version, I don't know *exactly* what it's called, and it has no identifying marks, but it's intel-style model number is: 721383-006. This is on the sticker on the front next to the ethernet address and another number "10927", which could mean anything. The Intel docs for this chip say explicitly that it's software compatable with drivers for older versions. An older board with an 82557 or 558 on the motherboard has: fxp0@pci0:6:0: class=0x020000 card=0x00000000 chip=0x12298086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 The device ID's are the same, just a lower revision number. ^^^^^^^^ > Thanks in advance. > > Steve Cheers, -Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
