BCM4401-B0 card error on FreeBSD 5.2.1

[Guillaume Goutaudier]

Hi all,

I'm trying to move from Linux to FreeBSD on my compaq nx5000 laptop.
The FreeBSD version I installed is 5.2.1.

I have a problem with the integrated broadcom BCM4401-B0 NIC.

This is not a BCM4401 but a BCM4401-B0 card (PCI ID = 0x170c), and
the bfe driver does not seem to work:

In the dmesg output, I don't have a single line with "bfe0: ...".
Instead, all I have is:

pci1: <network, ethernet> at device 14.0 (no driver attached)

When I try to install the bfe module manually, I get:

# kldload miibus.ko
interface miibus.1 already present in the KLD 'kernel'!
kldload: can't load miibus.ko: file exists
# kldload if_bfe.ko
module_register: module pci/bfe already exists!
Module pci/bfe failed to register: 17
module_register: module bfe/miibus already exists!
Module bfe/miibus failed to register: 17

I'm not familiar at all with *BSD drivers stuff so any help will be
REALLY appreciated ...

cheers,


Guillaume
