Hello everyone! I'm having trouble setting up networking on the ABIT AV8 motherboard using the onboard NIC. From: http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/amd64/motherboards.html "On-board ethernet controller (vge(4)) does not work unless statically compiled into kernel." I do know how to compile a kernel (from the Handbook) but I do not know how to compile a module statically. Could anyone please point me to the right documentation on doing that? I swear I looked almost everywhere (that is, everywhere but the right place). Also, I found on google that an alternative is to stop the module from being loaded at boot, and loading it only after the system boots. I tried to disable the module (disable-module if_vge on the console prompt) but I still get a kernel panic related to vge when booting. Is there a correct way to stop the module from being loaded? And how would I go about loading it manually, later? In case you're wondering, I had to disable the onboard NIC to install FreeBSD, or I get a kernel panic. Thanks in advance. :) _________________________________________________________________ Chegou o que faltava: MSN Acesso Grátis. Instale Já! http://www.msn.com.br/discador
