I tried to install 7.0 on a computer with an ABIT AV8 motherboard. This board
has an integrated NIC and the installer didn't find it.

The board uses a native VIA NIC (never seen this one before myself):

This same machine works just fine with 6.2.

What driver (interface name, e.g. vge, vr, etc.) gets loaded on 6.2?
This could help determine where the regression is.


I used to use this board (well, AV-8 Deluxe) with 7-CURRENT (its sitting
in a cardboard box now), its a VIA VT6122, and worked fine with vge(4).
I'd have to cannibalise a number of systems to test it now though.

geek: does ``kldload if_vge; ifconfig vge0''not work for you? If not,
what does /var/log/messages say?
