intel server board: strange LAN problem [SOLVED]
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]
intel server board: strange LAN problem!
hi together! our intel server board SE7320VP2D2 has 2 onboard LAN interfaces. HW address .:40 and .:41. ifconfig -a on freebsd only shows the 2nd interface (:41) as em0 and the 1st interface is missing completely, as in the dmesg. any ideas on this? we need both interfaces, and this soon! and i definitely want to run freebsd on it ;-) tested (same symptoms) on: FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE GENERIC FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE [custom kernel, some modules removed, crypto() added] FreeBSD 6.1-BETA4 GENERIC dmesg of the BETA4-GENERIC: Copyright (c) 1992-2006 The FreeBSD Project.

This happens I think when dhcpclient does its thing. I tried changing the cables too with a new one, which didn't seem to help what could I be doing wrong. Does your XP system work with the setup? If it does then for giggles take all NICs and put in to XP machine put cables on them and hope on reboot that all NICs get assigned an IP address from DHCP. Or one at a time use the XP system to test the NICs and cables. If all is good then manually assign IP addresses to fbsd system NICs and see if that works. Good luck. P.S. Hmm, doubtful but make sure no DHCP server is running on XP. Also install a packet sniffer on XP machine so you can watch what is happening.

Looking at the router's web page I have to have at least Mozilla 5.0 or higher, Opera lastet browser or It will never happen the M$ Internet Explorer 6.0 for it to work with the router. I try a dig www.freebsdforum.org and I got a reply but if I dig anything else I get no response. I'm at the point now where I just want to experience and enjoy the joy of FBSD on the internet. */Bill Moran /* wrote: pat bey wrote: # netstat -rn Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Ref Use Netif default 192.168.0.1 UGSc 2 1 sis0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 382 lo0 192.168.0 link#1 UC 4 0 sis0 192.168.0.105 00:09:5b:1b:89:0d UHLW 1 241 lo0 192.168.0.184 link#1 UHLW 0 5 sis0 192.168.0.255 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff UHLWb 1 77 sis0 I left out the expire part sense their was nothing under it.

On the router I have ports tcp,udp 20-2999 open for both mac address. The router sees both MAC's but the FBSD box can't even access the routers web page. I have another nic card should I
