Dear list,

I am using an Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection with FreeBSD 5.4
Release. The card does not seem to be detected. The page at

http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/hardware-i386.html#ETHERNET

lists it among the cards that should be supported by fxp.

My kernel shows that fxp is included:

device		fxp		# Intel EtherExpress PRO/100B (82557, 82558)

The relevant output of dmesg is:

pci5: <network, ethernet> at device 8.0 (no driver attached)

ifconfig says:

lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
	inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
	inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
	inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1

The relevant output of pciconf -lv is:

none6@pci5:8:0:	class=0x020000 card=0x01a71028 chip=0x27dc8086 rev=0x01
hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Intel Corporation'
    class    = network
    subclass = ethernet

In WinXP the physical device is identified as

Intel 82562 ET 100 Base-TX PHY

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Very best wishes,

Andrew
