FreeBSD 5.1 on ASUS P4C800 (onboard NIC problems, 3Com 3C940) (a solution)
I know there is no support 3c940 nic with FreeBSD 5.1 version. But it is added later. I look at the CVS. In FreeBSD 5.1 the driver version of the sk is 1.59 (if_sk.c). But 3c940 support added to sk with version 1.65. So i take the 1.65. then i put these files to kernel and i compile itl. Now i am happy with my 3c940 on FreeBSD 5.1. you can download if_sk.c 1.65 version from http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/pci/if_sk.c . But it depend to 2 other files (if_skreg.h and yukonreg.h) so you must download they also. Steps --- (+)download if_sk.c version 1.65 - http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/sys/pci/if_sk.c?rev=1.64content-type=text/plain (+)download if_skreg.h version 1.16 - http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/sys/pci/if_skreg.h?rev=1.16content-type=text/plain (+)download yukonreg.h version 1.1 - http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/sys/pci/yukonreg.h?rev=1.1content-type=text/plain (+) backup your orginal files which are in /usr/src/sys/pci/ mv /usr/src/sys/pci/if_sk.c /usr/src/sys/pci/if_sk.c.orig mv /usr/src/sys/pci/if_skreg.c /usr/src/sys/pci/if_skreg.h.orig mv /usr/src/sys/pci/yukonreg.h /usr/src/sys/pci/yukonreg.h.orig (+) copy your downloaded files to /usr/src/sys/pci/ cd /floppy/ #I guess that cp if_sk.c if_skreg.h yukonreg.h /usr/src/sys/pci/ (+) Now you can compile kernel cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ config GENERIC cd ../compile/GENERIC make depend make make install (+) reboot the system reboot (+) if everything ok you can see your sk driver with 3c940 Krad Yusuf KONU KYK ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't believe the 3C940 is currently supported in FreeBSD (nothing about it in hardware notes for 5.1 i386). So, you can try googling to see if anyone's working on a driver for it. Chances are however that you'll have to use another NIC. - Original Message - From: Gab [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2003 8:31 AM Subject: FreeBSD 5.1 on ASUS P4C800 (onboard NIC problems, 3Com 3C940) Hello, I successfully installed FreeBSD 5.1 on my ASUS P4C800 motherboard. The only remaining problem is that sysinstall did not find any ethernet device during the installation. The onboard NIC is a 3Com 3C940. What should I exactly do in order to make the system detect this 3Com 3C940 ethernet device and make it work properly? Many thanks for your help.
