Dear list,
I am using an Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection with FreeBSD 5.4
Release. The card does not seem to be detected. The page at
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/hardware-i386.html#ETHERNET
lists it among the cards that should be supported by fxp.
My kernel shows that fxp is included:
device fxp # Intel EtherExpress PRO/100B (82557, 82558)
The relevant output of dmesg is:
pci5: <network, ethernet> at device 8.0 (no driver attached)
ifconfig says:
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
The relevant output of pciconf -lv is:
none6 at pci5:8:0: class=0x020000 card=0x01a71028 chip=0x27dc8086 rev=0x01
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
In WinXP the physical device is identified as
Intel 82562 ET 100 Base-TX PHY
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Very best wishes,
Andrew
