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

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.

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.

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?.

Thank you very much, in advance.

Regards.

Jose.

Attansic is now part of Atheros, but I can't find enough information
on that card to try matching it to a driver.

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