Replying to my own question.. I found the B0 version of this adapter is intentionally disabled in the driver. I've commented out the case that catches the 5708_B0 and I'm recompiling the kernel. As this server has run for years without problems I'm hoping the nic will work just fine. Maybe it's disabled because someone else had problems with it that I'm about to run into..

Will keep you posted...

Hi folks,

I just got a HP Proliant DL380 G5 and I've installed FreeBSD 8.0 on it.
The nic won't come up however.

dmesg shows:

Is there a way to fix this ?

Thanks.
