    I have installed FreeBSD-5.2.1 on my brand new Soltek EQ3702A machine, which
    has an nVidia chipset. I have got most of the on-board hardware to work:
      kldload snd_ich -- pcm
      kldload firewire \ to mount my ipod
      kldload sbp /

    but I don't seem to be able to get ethernet to work. A google shows that
    this is a long-standing issue:

    http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2003-August/016739.html
    http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2003-July/001016.html

    but I don't see anything else posted since August last year.

    I did come across this driver against FreeBSD-5.1:
    http://www.onthenet.com.au/~q/nvnet/ [1]

    Anyone have any experience with it? It claims to be in the official ports
    tree under net/nvnet, but I don't find it there (not in the 5.2.1-RELEASE
    ports tree anyway). Well actually, I did find something here:
    http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/pds.cgi?ports/net/nvnet [2]

    Unfortunately the driver page [1] doesn't link to the Linux driver it
    requires, and the port at [2] links to a different version of nvnet than the
    one at [1].

    If anyone has this working with FreeBSD-5.2.1 (and either an up-to-date
    port, or a pointer to the correct Linux module required), that would save me
    some random hacking.

    Incidentally, my machine has two VGA ports. If anyone knows how to get both
    of those working together with XFree86, that would be appreciated too!

    Cheers,

    Brian.
