nForce3 NIC on 5.3 (i386)

[Sven Ahtama]

Hello folks,

Anyone here who have managed to get the nForce3 MCP NIC to work with 
FreeBSD 5.3 on i386 platform?

After several hours of retries and kernel configuration i managed to get 
the if_nv.ko successfully loaded. No complaints, no errors, but also, no 
 nv0 device found. Just like it didn't exist. I also read that one of 
the common problems in such cases was the agp driver, however i'm not 
even using one. Even more, I tried a kernel run entirely without agp 
support.

I got the if_nv loaded as module and tried compiled-in as well.

I'd really appreciate any pointers, or a conclusive confirmation, that 
there is no success yet.

Regards,

chance.
