I have an ASUS Z97I-PLUS ITX motherboard that Freebsd 9.2 (or 9.3-RC1 or 11.0
20140614 snapshot) is failing to detect the Intel Ethernet NIC on it. The
vendor/device id for it is 0x808615A1 and based on what I've located on the
Internet about it is the "Ethernet Connection (2) I218-V".
Based on what I see in the source for the if_em driver (in sys/dev/e1000) it
appears the the "Ethernet Connection I218-V" NIC is supported but I have no
idea what the differences are between these two. I tried hacking the if_em.c
code, adding an entry for this device id to the em_vendor_info_array but it
still was not detected.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! This is going to be a NAS box
so network support is crucial (and the motherboard has only one PCIe slot
containing a Hightpoint Rocket RAID controller required for my disks).
Thanks,
Bob
