Hi, To answer my own question:

As the if_bce.ko kernel module was missing for the kfreebsd-image-8.1-1-amd64 kernel, I copied the if_bce.ko module from the binary FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE distribution, put it in the directory /lib/modules/<kernel-version>, and finally een kldload if_bce. And it worked! The interface card was recognized, and after ifup bce0 the interface was configured. (This needs adding iface bce0 in /etc/network/interfaces, as it was not configured during install.) After upgrading the system from squeeze to testing, which upgraded the kernel to 8.2, I did the same "trick" and copied the if_bce.ko from the binary FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE. -- Benno -- Benno J.
