Hi!

Known issue, the 5704C PCI ID wasn't known to the bge-driver around
4.8-R.

take a FreeBSD 4.9-PRE, there it will work.

Or install a 4.8-R, and update it somehow (put in a third NIC, cvsup,
and make world, or copy over the /usr/src from another machine via CD)

HTH

Aha, that would explain it. I'll try the /usr/src copy idea, as I don't have any PCI-X NICs that'll fit the 1750.


Thanks v. much.

Andrew.
