the original problem was: NIC1 was "missing" at all and PXE boot from this nic also did not work.
the solution for those who are interested in: Intel SE7320VP2/SE7320VP2D2 has 2 onboard NIC's: NIC1 (Marvell Yukon-Chipset) NIC2 (Intel-Chipset) FreeBSD 6 by default recognizes the intel-nic, which is shown as em0. the 2nd nic needs an additional module from marvel yukon (if_myk.ko), which then will enable and show the nic to freebsd. the following steps have been successfully tested: - download the nic driver for freebsd from (www.marvell.com/drivers/) - install the if_myk.ko to /boot/kernel - load the module via /boot/loader.conf or kldload. - configure the interface with ("ifconfig myk0") - get a new, fine 1GBit Ethernet Connection working ,-) cu & have fun ---> if you have this board, you definitely will ;-| _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
