nForce3 Internal NIC on FreeBSD

[Masahiko KIMOTO]

Dear nForce3 users:

Now that FreeBSD 5.3 can use kernel modules even on amd64. We can
compile nvnet as kernel module.

   1. Obtain nvnet-src-20040813.tar.gz
      http://www.onthenet.com.au/~q/nvnet/nvnet-src-20040813.tar.gz
      and NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0275.tar.gz (for amd 64).
      http://www.onthenet.com.au/~q/nvnet/NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0275.tar.gz
   2. Extract both tar.gz and apply a patch to nvnet/src/if_nv.c
      (this is only one line patch).

  #include <sys/queue.h>
+ #include <sys/module.h>
  
  #include <net/if.h>
  #include <net/if_arp.h>

   3. Run make in nvnet/, then you can get if_nv.ko.
   4. Copy if_nv.ko into appropriate directory and 'kldload if_nv.c'.
   5. nForce3 ethernet will be recognized like as follows.

nv0: <NVIDIA nForce MCP3 Networking Adapter> port 0xb400-0xb407 mem 0xe8000000-0xe8000fff irq 10 at device 5.0 on pci0
nv0: Ethernet address 00:30:1b:b3:b8:1d
nv0: Ethernet address: 00:30:1b:b3:b8:1d
nv0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
miibus1: <MII bus> on nv0
rlphy0: <RTL8201L 10/100 media interface> on miibus1
rlphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto


For GbE users:
  Current if_nv.c may not recongnize newer chipset. Please try attached
  patch for if_nv.c and if_nvregs.h.
