Re: Broadcom Nics in Tyan Transport GT24 (B3992)

yes, but guess what - FBSD 6.2 is now released, so just install that and
the updated driver is already in the kernel

Is the bge driver enabled by default?

I don't know what broadcom chip your MB has but the majority of those
cards
are supported here:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/bge/

You should be able to just copy over the 2 files to your
src/sys/dev/bge/
directory and
recompile your 6.1-release kernel with no problems. I did.

Look carefully at the chip on your MB and post the BCM model number on
it
if this doesen't work.

Use the latest Broadcom driver from FreeBSD CVS. The one included in
6.1
release is buggy.

Which driver is that? My 6.1 install won't see them at all:

pci4: <PCI bus> on pcib4
pci4: <network, ethernet> at device 4.0 (no driver attached)
pci4: <network, ethernet> at device 4.1 (no driver attached)

Also, I'm running 6.1-RELEASE, will the cvs drivers from CURRENT work?

Hey all, I have a Transport GT24 (B3992 Motherboard), and while it
has
one
intel nic which works well, I'd like to be able to use the onboard
broadcom network cards. Is there a known way of making them work? I
seem
to recall some dealy where you could use a windows driver?
