Thank you - I installed the latest release 7.1 .. should I reinstall with 7.2-RC2? If I install 7.2-RC2, will it be upgradable to the full release when it's complete? I've ran into "beta" releases of various software overtime where it is sometimes not upgradable...;) Take care, Paul -----Original Message----- From: Xin LI [mailto:delphij@delphij.net] Sent: April 24, 2009 5:09 PM To: Paul Stewart Cc: freebsd-current@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Broadcom NIC Problem - Installing 7.1 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Paul, Paul Stewart wrote: > Hi there. > > I'm just getting back into the FreeBSD world after a long vacation ;) > > Just installed a shiny new Dell PowerEdge R710 server that comes with Four > embedded BroadcomR NetXtreme IIT 5709c Gigabit Ethernet NIC cards.

Do I need to do a custom kernel or > load modules? Which release are you using? A moderately new -CURRENT snapshot (as you posted on -current@), or 7.2-RC2 should have supported the hardware you have mentioned.
