Hello: I have a machine with two SLI slots and two regular pci slots. The motherboard is Gigabyte with nVidia network interface built in. I have one regular pci slot taken with a video card and one with a D-Link nic. I need another nic and as it stands either the video card goes or I get a functional nvnet driver. The system has refused to deal with the nvnet interface and the compilation of the driver for it was initially unsuccessful. I posted a note to this list about it at the time and was told after some delay that the nvnet driver was 'broken'. My plan is to use one of the extended pci slots for a SCSI adapter which leaves the other extended slot unused(and unusable if I understand correctly). The machine has no built in video. Can anyone tell me if there is a functioning nvnet driver avail- able presently and if it will run on v6.0.
My present use of the machine is as a development machine and I need to configure Apache for mock virtual sites with both an internal network connection and a mock external connection. Eventually, I will have the machine actually connected to a public address so for that I need the extra net work interface card also. I think I can get by with six internal addresses alias to the same card and split them up as far as Apache is concerned but having the use of the built in network interface will be a great help. Other wise every thing is satisfactory with FreeBSD on this machine. I'm building a third machine along the same lines (but it has more standard pci slots and only one extended slot which will also be for a SCSI adapter card). I'm shoe horning my budget for the project so that isn't a viable alternative for me at this time. Thanks in advance.
