Sorry for the tardiness in my reply. I was away for a month. The card was not recognized, so I'm not sure what to look for in dmesg (there was nothing that even remotely hinted to the card/chipset). Any way I can force ifconfig to use the em driver anyway? I cvsup-ed today, and did a buildkernel/installkernel (without a buildworld/installworld), on a Vmware box, just to see if I could compile me a new kernel; but, as expected, ipfw gets messed up that way. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. - Mark _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
