>Description:
According to my googling and the FreeBSD documentation the Intel PRO/100 VE should be detected by the 'fxp' driver. Sadly it does not get detected on my new Toshiba A100-159 laptop.
I've found several items on the Internet from people with the same problems (in 2003). Some provided a solution, i've used that solution and applied that to my Intel PRO/100 VE network card. The network card now works.
output of 'pciconf -lv'
fxp0 at pci7:8:0: class=0x020000 card=0xff101179 chip=0x10928086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
This is after it was fixed, else the 'fxp0' would be 'none'.
I'm running a new/default install of FreeBSD 6.0, GENERIC kernel. No extra options to either rc.conf, make.conf or any other configuration files.
------
I hope i haven't forgotten anything, as this is my first problem report. I've also not have that much experience with patch/diff, so i'd like to leave that to someone with more experience. I could find no simliar problem reports or anything in the mailinglist archives, but perhaps i have missed it.
Regards,

File changed: /sys/dev/fxp/if_fxp.c.
I've added the following line to this section :
static struct fxp_ident fxp_ident_table[] = {
{ 0x1092, -1, "Intel Pro/100 VE Network Connection },
}
Once my network connection was up, i've cvsup'd to the latest of RELENG_6. As far as i could tell, the if_fxp.c file did not have the 0x1092 line for my network card.
