I have a watchguard firewall v80 which I’ve decided to amend it to

nic, as
per attached photo.
Unfortunately the list management software ate your photo, but never
mind. Your verbal description is sufficient.
The onboard nics can be recognized however the PCI card is not being
recognised, and the strange thing is that both onboard and the PCI
uses the
same chipset Intel 82559er Ethernet. How can I amend changes in
freebsd
modules so that the PCI card can be recognised.
There may be a good reason for your quad card not being recognised,
or
it might just be a bug.
If you run:
% pciconf -lv
You should be able to pick out your unrecognised device. If you ask
again on freebsd-...@freebsd.org and include relevant sections from
the pciconf output, you should get to the attention of some of the
guys
that write network drivers.
Usually in other distros modules can be located in /etc/module
however I
cannot find where the modules are located in freebsd.
Verb Sap. Calling FreeBSD a 'distro' is definitely non-U. We
generally
consider penguins a bit fishy round here...
If you want to locate the kernel modules for various hardware, look
in
/boot/kernel. NIC modules will generally have a name beginning
'if_'.
If you want to see what modules have been loaded into the kernel,
then
run:
% kldstat
There's also 'kldload' and 'kldunload' but they aren't going to help
you
for this problem. PCI devices are discovered when the kernel probes
the
bus at boot time: if the kernel hasn't already assigned a driver for
the
device, then there isn't one available.
Can I have some assistance.
Keeps asking good questions and you'll get useful answers.
Cheers,
Matthew
Definitely do some searching on the pfSense user forums
<http://forum.pfsense.org/>, I run it at home on Alix board, and know I
have ran across several threads about using it on watch guard hardware
on the forums when looking for hardware alternatives before going with
the Alix platform for running pfSense. Someone may have already posted
the answer you're looking for there.
