 If you have the hardware available, you might try booting from a CD
 and see if it is recognized.


 Hi Lowell.

 Thank you very much for your answer.

 Yes, my PC box (2 weeks old) have this ethernet adapter and i am concerned 
 only cos i installed FreeBSD 7.0 CURRENT and the adapter is not recognized.

In that case you may need to communicate with a developer about it.
Someone probably has more information about this chipset than I do.

 Reading more about it, now i know this Attansic adapter is a PCI-E device,
 let me question you. What is a PCI-E device?, what are the differences with
 a common PCI device?.

PCI Express is quite an evolution from original PCI.  It isn't really
a bus; it provides a full mesh of signal paths.  Several FreeBSD
drivers support PCI Express devices today, but apparently not the one
you have.  I would have wondered if lge(4) supported it, but that is
in the default kernel already.
