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

uname:

Except from FRODO kernel file (generic plus some):

dmesg except:

pci0: <network, ethernet> at device 6.0 (no driver attached)
vr0: <VIA VT6102 Rhine II 10/100BaseTX> port 0xdc00-0xdcff mem
0xdfffbe00-0xdfffbeff
 irq 23 at device 18.0 on pci0
miibus0: <MII bus> on vr0

ukphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto
vr0: Ethernet address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

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.
