Thanks for the response Warren!!
Does the card show up in ifconfig?
No.
If not, do a 'pciconf -lv' to find out which particular hardware
you have.
pciconf -lv says
Vendor: Marvell Semiconductor (Was Galileo Technology LTD)
Class: Network
Subclass: Ethernet
[please don't top-post, it makes responding more work]
Sorry!
When you mean 'top post' do you mean writing something after replying or
posting at the 'top' of the original information??? Apologies am
unfamiliar with the term!
What is needed is the line just before the Vendor, with the card and
chip IDs. Then compare it against the list of cards the FreeBSD msk
driver supports:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=msk&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+8.0-RELEASE&format=html
I will try to obtain this tomorrow as I left the CD at work :-(
Well.... I managed to go to Marvell and get the FreeBSD 7.0 x64
driver and use my USB key to get the driver into the machine:
Wait, the (binary|proprietary?) driver for FreeBSD 7.0 is almost
certainly not going to work on FreeBSD 8.0.
Yeah I messed the system up completely now and attempted to recover it
with FreeSBIE based on BSD 6.0 which doesn't even start for some strange
reason. Can't mount the CD it says?? Any other system I've tried manages.
I then installed it using the instructions provided in the README.txt
file and now I can't even boot BSD any more :-(
I get total kernel panic with a complete system lockup.
I'm not sure if I will be able to recover from this or if I will need
a total re-install but so far BSD seems completely hosed on my
machine :-(
You may be able to unload that kernel module before booting. If it's
a kernel module; don't know. The one Marvell card I have in a
notebook is supported by the open FreeBSD msk driver thanks to Pyun
YongHyeon.

If I could just mount the hard drive I could remove the statement in
/boot/modules.conf
Unfortunately all I have available to me is Linux and Windows 7 which I
don't think will be much use!
