Thanks Ted,
Server got here, FreeBSD 6.1 went on easy as you like and then I
installed the intel card when it got here... I havent had to recompile
a thing and its detected the card fine. I've appied an IP address,
cvsup/install a few ports without any issues..
dmesg goodness:
em0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection Version - 3.2.18> port
0x4000-0x401f mem 0xfdee0000-0xfdefffff,0xfdec0000-0xfdedffff irq 16
at device 0.0 on pci2
em0: Ethernet address: 00:15:17:0b:e6:18
em1: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection Version - 3.2.18> port
0x4020-0x403f mem 0xfdea0000-0xfdebffff,0xfde80000-0xfde9ffff irq 17
at device 0.1 on pci2
em1: Ethernet address: 00:15:17:0b:e6:19
Should I grab the latest copy of the driver (off intel's website) and
recompile anyway?
Cheers,
Will
