Do a minimal install, then run # pciconf -vl The output looks something like (showing NICs only): rl0@pci0:12:0: class=0x020000 card=0x032010bd chip=0x813910ec rev=0x10 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor' device = 'RT8139 (A/B/C/8130) Fast Ethernet Adapter' class = network subclass = ethernet vr0@pci0:18:0: class=0x020000 card=0x764c1462 chip=0x30651106 rev=0x74 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'VIA Technologies Inc' device = 'VT6102 Rhine II PCI Fast Ethernet Controller' class = network subclass = ethernet Show us what you see there. If you can identify the NIC in the output, you don't need to show the rest. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
