Hi,

I am using FreeBSD6.0(6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #1). I just bought two dge-530T gigabyte ethernet cards and installed them in my computer. I have looked at the supported hardware for 6.0 and it said that the dge-530T is supported. I have sk compiled into my kernel, but on boot they are not recognized. Is there any additional steps I need to take? My kernel config file(PCI-Ethernet Portion) as well as pertaining snippet of dmesg are below. I don't know if it makes a difference but the H/W ver is:B1.

Thank you for your time in reading this message.
