The latest 6.x should solve your problem, and the upgrade will be
somewhat easier than 7.x.  Either way, the instructions in the FreeBSD
Handbook chapter titled The Cutting Edge describe how to go about it.

Hi,
Thank for your help.

It is possible to upgrade to version 7 without reinstalling?
If yes, how can I do this?

Best regards,

 Hi,
  
 I have a Motherboard ASUS P5B Deluxe With two Network LAN Marvell

 My problem is: Only one appear on FreeBSD 6.2 ifconfig.
  
 I check the bios and it enable.
  
 Someone can help me to fix this problem or tell me what can i do ?

My first guess would be that there are two *different* LAN controllers - one 
connected to the PCI bus and the other via PCI-E most likely.

The one that appears in ifconfig is probably the PCI one, while the PCI-E 
connected one is likely a newer chip which is not supported by 6.2.


Checking the documentation for the motherboard verifies this guess. Your MB has 
a Marvell 88E001 (connected via PCI) which is supported by FreeBSD 6.2 using 
the sk(4) driver.  It also has a Marvell 88E056 PCI-E chip which is not 
supported by 6.2.

The good news is that 7-CURRENT and 6-stable should both support the 88E056 NIC 
using the msk(4) driver.

What happens if you disable the one in the BIOS you *think* is found by
FreeBSD, and enable the other? Do you still have one show up? What about
vice-versa?
