I've got a Dell Dimension 8300 on which I have loaded FreeBSD. It has an
integrated Intel 10/100 NIC and a Broadcom 10/100/1000 NIC. I know the
Broadcom NIC has a 5705 chipset, but I don't know about the integrated NIC.
I would have thought both of these NICs were supported, but the bge driver
doesn't indicate that it finds a NIC and none of the Intel drivers report
finding anything, either. What gives?
Here's the relevant output from pciconf:
none4 at pci2:2:0: class=0x020000 card=0x86531028 chip=0x165314e4 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
none5 at pci2:8:0: class=0x020000 card=0x01571028 chip=0x10508086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
And here's the relevant output from dmesg:
pci2: <network, ethernet> at device 2.0 (no driver attached)
pci2: <network, ethernet> at device 8.0 (no driver attached)
This is from sources cvs'ed and compiled today (21 Aug 2003).
Any help would be appreciated.
