I have a server I'm building up for production within a small company,

onboard PATA controller now being recognised, so I got around that with
an external USB CD-ROM for installing. My problem is actually concerned
with the onboard Intel EtherExpress Pro 1000. I can't make it connect
at 1000baseTX at all, although the 100baseTX works fine, as long as I
let it autodetect. If I manually configure the 100baseTX using
ifconfig, I get a lot of errors on the interface and I'm not sure of the
exact cause.
Currenly installed is the following version of FreeBSD with a custom kernel
# uname -a
FreeBSD mail.biocentral-labs.com 6.1-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p3

My first suggestion would be to give 6.2-RELEASE a try on this board. It
should pick up the onboard Ethernet card without any hassles.
Support for the onboard PATA controller has recently hit -CURRENT
(thanks [EMAIL PROTECTED]); I'll be attempting a backport to 6.2 for our own
internal builds in the next 48 hours, so can report how that goes... for
those interested, it looks like src/sys/dev/ata/ata-chipset.c, revision
1.179, is the relevant commit...
