It looks like it's probably not all that simple; other OS supporting this card have a different driver for it than the earlier Atheros NICs (e.g. age(4), ale(4), alc(4) on OpenBSD). https://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/alx https://github.com/markjdb/alx-freebsd However style of this code isn't great and they try to support both Linux and FreeBSD with the same codebase which doesn't usually make for a nice clean driver. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/272498 There is a chance one of the existing drivers could be adapted but nobody seems to have done that on other OS so I don't see any existing work to crib from. Best thing to do at this point is probably to use a separate NIC for now and send a dmesg (copied via USB or with another NIC) to misc@. > I have tried searching for the supported network card list for openbsd > but can't seem to find it on the web, is it still maintained? Nobody has managed to keep it reliably up-to-date so it was removed, best bet is to identify the PCI ID and look it up in sys/dev/pci/pcidevs than grep the kernel source to see if it's used. Second-best is to look up the part number of the NIC chip in manpages, though this is a bit less reliable. http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=e2200&apropos=0&sec=4&arch=default&manpath=OpenBSD-current Or ask on misc@. > on both my previous OBSD builds (several years back) I had to get a > separate ethernet card, I'm hoping this isn't the case for my new build. I think this may be the case for now. _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list Openbsd-newbies@sfobug.theapt.org http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
