Hello,

I'm posting to this list because I'm not sure who else I should send this info 
to. I'd be grateful if someone would let me know the correct procedure.

I've got a new Dell 4700 with P4 2.8 chip on a motherboard with the new Intel 
915G Express chipset. It has an intergrated network card, the Intel Pro 100 
VE, but it didn't work straight out of the box when I installed Freebsd 
5.2.1. I did loads of searches on google and eventually found a post 
somewhere giving me an example of what to do. Now the card is detected at 
boot and works just fine.

So below is the result. I have added a new line 
to /usr/src/sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c 

The new line is marked with +

/*
 * Claim various Intel PCI device identifiers for this driver.  The
 * sub-vendor and sub-device field are extensively used to identify
 * particular variants, but we don't currently differentiate between
 * them.
 */
static struct fxp_ident fxp_ident_table[] = {
    { 0x1029, -1, "Intel 82559 PCI/CardBus Pro/100" },
    { 0x1030, -1, "Intel 82559 Pro/100 Ethernet" },
    { 0x1031, -1, "Intel 82801CAM (ICH3) Pro/100 VE Ethernet" },
    { 0x1032, -1, "Intel 82801CAM (ICH3) Pro/100 VE Ethernet" },
    { 0x1033, -1, "Intel 82801CAM (ICH3) Pro/100 VM Ethernet" },
    { 0x1034, -1, "Intel 82801CAM (ICH3) Pro/100 VM Ethernet" },
    { 0x1035, -1, "Intel 82801CAM (ICH3) Pro/100 Ethernet" },

    { 0x1037, -1, "Intel 82801CAM (ICH3) Pro/100 Ethernet" },
    { 0x1038, -1, "Intel 82801CAM (ICH3) Pro/100 VM Ethernet" },
    { 0x1039, -1, "Intel 82801DB (ICH4) Pro/100 VE Ethernet" },
    { 0x103A, -1, "Intel 82801DB (ICH4) Pro/100 Ethernet" },
    { 0x103B, -1, "Intel 82801DB (ICH4) Pro/100 VM Ethernet" },
    { 0x103C, -1, "Intel 82801DB (ICH4) Pro/100 Ethernet" },
    { 0x103D, -1, "Intel 82801DB (ICH4) Pro/100 VE Ethernet" },
    { 0x103E, -1, "Intel 82801DB (ICH4) Pro/100 VM Ethernet" },
    { 0x1050, -1, "Intel 82801BA (D865) Pro/100 VE Ethernet" },
    { 0x1059, -1, "Intel 82551QM Pro/100 M Mobile Connection" },
+ { 0x1064,   -1,     "Intel Pro 100 VE Ethernet" }, +This is new 
    { 0x1209, -1, "Intel 82559ER Embedded 10/100 Ethernet" },
    { 0x1229, 0x01, "Intel 82557 Pro/100 Ethernet" },
    { 0x1229, 0x02, "Intel 82557 Pro/100 Ethernet" },
    { 0x1229, 0x03, "Intel 82557 Pro/100 Ethernet" },
    { 0x1229, 0x04, "Intel 82558 Pro/100 Ethernet" },
    { 0x1229, 0x05, "Intel 82558 Pro/100 Ethernet" },
    { 0x1229, 0x06, "Intel 82559 Pro/100 Ethernet" },
    { 0x1229, 0x07, "Intel 82559 Pro/100 Ethernet" },
    { 0x1229, 0x08, "Intel 82559 Pro/100 Ethernet" },
    { 0x1229, 0x09, "Intel 82559ER Pro/100 Ethernet" },
    { 0x1229, 0x0c, "Intel 82550 Pro/100 Ethernet" },
    { 0x1229, 0x0d, "Intel 82550 Pro/100 Ethernet" },
    { 0x1229, 0x0e, "Intel 82550 Pro/100 Ethernet" },
    { 0x1229, 0x0f, "Intel 82551 Pro/100 Ethernet" },
    { 0x1229, 0x10, "Intel 82551 Pro/100 Ethernet" },
    { 0x1229, -1, "Intel 82557/8/9 Pro/100 Ethernet" },
    { 0x2449, -1, "Intel 82801BA/CAM (ICH2/3) Pro/100 Ethernet" },
    { 0, -1, NULL },
};

I have named it rather generally because I couldn't find any other better 
identifiers.

Once I recompiled a new kernel the card was detected and ifconfig confirmed 
everything to be ok.

I hope this can be added to the source of CURRENT so that others with a new 
computer like mine won't have the same weekend's worth of frustration. Still 
I got there in the end...almost bought a new network card...persistance pays 
off I suppose.

Long subject line I know, but the post should come straight up in google like 
that for another lost soul like me.

Thanks

Huw
