Sounds cool. I had one going in an older laptop as early as 5.x-STABLE  
I'm pretty sure it's strongly supported by FreeBSD. Did you have to do  
anything special to get it going?

Actually, the code is cotributed/maintained by Intel.

huff@ more /boot/loader.conf | grep _em
if_em_load=YES

Your mileage may vary.

Yeah, my first instinct was to assume that the em driver isn't in the  
GENERIC kernel to so I did this:


 # kldload -v if_em

Which promptly fired back a bunch of errors about duplicate symbols.  
At that time I figured that the em module is already loaded into the  
GENERIC kernel. This was confirmed by doing:


 # grep '^device.*em' /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC
 device  mly # Mylex AcceleRAID/eXtremeRAID
 device  em  # Intel PRO/1000 adapter Gigabit  
Ethernet Card

 device  nge # NatSemi DP83820 gigabit Ethernet
 ...

I can try that later but given that the em driver is already in the  
kernel I don't expect it to bear fruit. However, can you do a kldstat  
on your machine with the em card? It will tell me if there is some  
firmware module or something that I'm missing.

P.S. In digging around on Google I found kern/117926 in the Bug  
tracking system.

Doesn't look like there's a firmware module though.
