Hi,
So after having issues with my onboard Realtek ethernet for the past year, I
finally purchased a new Intel ethernet card that the HCL says is supported and
I've read good things about. The card is: Intel PWLA8391GT PRO/1000 GT PCI
Network Adapter, which I believe should use the e1000g driver.
However after installing, the new card is not found or recognized by the
system.
Running ifconfig -a only shows the loopback and the Realtek rge driver, no
Intel driver is loaded
zaphod@thebook:~$ pfexec ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232
index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
rge0: flags=1004843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
inet 192.168.1.104 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
ether 90:e6:ba:c9:e8:6e
lo0: flags=2002000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv6,VIRTUAL> mtu 8252
index 1
inet6 ::1/128
rge0: flags=2004841<UP,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv6> mtu 1500 index 2
inet6 fe80::92e6:baff:fec9:e86e/10
ether 90:e6:ba:c9:e8:6e
I also tried to run "scanpci" to find the card, but it was not in the list of
devices.
I tried the card in all my PCI ports, same thing.
Since I know this card should be supported, does anyone have any idea how to
load and configure the card? Any help will be very much appreciated as I've
spent countless hours on the old rge driver and if this Intel card does not
work I'll have no idea where to go..
Thanks!!
