[Resending with more info]

Greetings, I have a fileserver I installed this nic on but the device
fails to show in ifconfig

uname:

The reference to vr0 are for the onboard nic that it is currently
running off of.

ifconfig lists vr0, plip0, lo0

Doing some searching, someone posted this part of dmesg on a 5.4
PRERELEASE system:

skc0: <D-Link DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet> port 0x7400-0x74ff mem
0xfb800000-0xfb803fff irq 18 at device 10.0 on pci2

e1000phy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseTX-FDX,
auto

I did check the hardware notes before buying this nic, and according
to http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.5R/hardware-i386.html it is
supported.  Have I missed a switch somewhere?

Thanks in advance.
