Some operating systems place the controller in low power mode when shutting down, and some PCI BIOSes fail to bring the chip out of this state before configuring it. The controller loses all of its PCI configuration in the D3 state, so if the BIOS does not set it back to full power mode in time, it will not be able to configure it correctly. The driver tries to detect this condi- tion and bring the adapter back to the D0 (full power) state, but this may not be enough to return the driver to a fully operational condition. If you see this message at boot time and the driver fails to attach the device as a network interface, you will have to perform a warm boot to have the device properly configured. could this be your problem then ?

Re: Trouble getting network card to work
Thanks - I will give this a try when I get a chance. When I got back in to work yesterday I found a couple of 10/100 cards from a different vendor (Intel) and threw them in and they worked on the first boot. Depending on how much time we have before my team needs to begin using the box, I may not be able to test with the old cards, but I'll tuck away this information for future use. Thanks for everyone's help! BTW, we're going to be using the machine as a router in our test lab and setting up ipfw rules in conjunction with dummynet 'pipes' for WAN emulation. As I've been playing around with this I've been amazed at all that can be done with it -- hats off to the FreeBSD community for building such an excellent tool. fbsd_user [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Add this to your kernel source and recompile the kernel. device puc This uses an more detailed approach to probing older bio's and motherboards PCI slots.
