nVidia chipset - ethernet support?
Hello, I would like to know if anyone runs with success the nvnet port with the latest source package from http://www.onthenet.com.au/~q/nvnet/nvnet-src-20040520.tar.gz to make the nforce2 builtin ethernet card to work? I am running FreeBSD 5.2.1 since two weeks on my brand new leadtek K7NCR18G Pro II... I can't make the second ethernet card work... I don't have any special kernel config, just added the latest nvidia video driver (version 4365) from the ports tree.

See the docs in the working directory of the port for more info, if you need a sample dual-layout I can send you mine. I've got that going too now, thanks; once using TwinView, and again using two X screens (in the latter case, KDE displays a separate toolbar on the bottom of each one, which is cool). Actually what I really wanted was to bind a second keyboard and mouse (USB) to the second screen, so I'd have two completely independent X sessions, with separate xdm logins. But I don't think I'll be able to get that to work without having a separate card and a separate X server process; X doesn't seem to allow multiple 'ServerLayout' sections to be active concurrently. But my machine does have one spare AGP slot as well as one PCI slot, so I might go down that route.

However, I did some searching on: www.freebsd.org/ports and I did locate the source code. It can be downloaded off of freebsd.org: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=nvnetstype=all I noticed that there are different version numbers on the .tgz files, which appears to be a later release.. However the site that you have listed www.onthenet.com.au) is listed as a location for the source. PS: have you tried doing a locate on nvnet? Yep: also # echo /usr/ports/net/*nv* /usr/ports/net/konverse /usr/ports/net/openverse /usr/ports/net/openvmps # tar -tzf /cdrom/ports/ports.tgz | grep nvnet # So for some reason it's not in the ports tree for 5.2.1 Regards, Brian. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Summary for anyone else who needs to do this: - fetch nvnet.tar.gz from http://cvsweb.FreeBSD.org/ports/net/nvnet/nvnet.tar.gz?tarball=1 - unpack nvnet.tar.gz under /usr/ports/net - since the network interface is not working at this moment, I had to fetch the other files into /usr/ports/distfiles/ manually: http://www.onthenet.com.au/~q/nvnet/nvnet-src-20040108.tar.gz ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nforce/1.0-0261/NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0261.tar.gz [this is a Microsoft FTP server, remember to set binary mode!] - cd /usr/ports/net/nvnet - in Makefile, change NVNETVERSION= 20040108 but leave NVVERSION=0261 (version 0269 is for AMD64 processors I am told) - append to 'distinfo' MD5 (nvnet-src-20040108.tar.gz) = 96730b413cb1f949f6cdadb6797740c2 SIZE (nvnet-src-20040108.tar.gz) = 17547 - make install - append to /boot/loader.conf if_nv_load=YES Regards, Brian. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
nVidia chipset - ethernet support?
I have installed FreeBSD-5.2.1 on my brand new Soltek EQ3702A machine, which has an nVidia chipset. I have got most of the on-board hardware to work: kldload snd_ich -- pcm kldload firewire \ to mount my ipod kldload sbp / but I don't seem to be able to get ethernet to work. A google shows that this is a long-standing issue: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2003-August/016739.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2003-July/001016.html but I don't see anything else posted since August last year. I did come across this driver against FreeBSD-5.1: http://www.onthenet.com.au/~q/nvnet/ [1] Anyone have any experience with it? It claims to be in the official ports tree under net/nvnet, but I don't find it there (not in the 5.2.1-RELEASE ports tree anyway). Well actually, I did find something here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/pds.cgi?ports/net/nvnet [2] Unfortunately the driver page [1] doesn't link to the Linux driver it requires, and the port at [2] links to a different version of nvnet than the one at [1]. If anyone has this working with FreeBSD-5.2.1 (and either an up-to-date port, or a pointer to the correct Linux module required), that would save me some random hacking. Incidentally, my machine has two VGA ports. If anyone knows how to get both of those working together with XFree86, that would be appreciated too!
