LAN and sound support in ASUS A7V333-X
I run FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE on a ASUS A7V333-X motherboard. On the card there is both LAN and sound card built in, but neither is detected by FreeBSD. Does anyone have any information if it is possible to get that support? The manual says Audio: Realtek 6-channel CODEC LAN: BroadCom 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Controller >From "dmesg" I find the follwing undetected controllers: pci1: at device 0.0 (no driver attached) pci0: at device 9.0 (no driver attached) pci0: at device 16.3 (no driver attached) pci0: at device 17.5 (no driver attached) Thanks Mats - Mats Dufberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] Blaoarvsgraend 42 +46-8-38 48 59 SE-162 45 Vaellingby, Sweden +46-70-258 2588 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

You'll need to load the pcm module or compile it into your kernel. The ethernet card I'm not sure about, though; I don't know which driver is supposed to handle that one.

A search of the maker's site proved fruitless. I would love to know if it is possible though, since eventually said machine will need 2 NICS. I have not tried the sound, since the machine in question is not destined for music :) -- Regards Cliff Sarginson The Netherlands [ This mail has been checked as virus-free ] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

While not directly applicable, you might find that my experiences are useful for making your h/w operate. The issues that I had were that loading drivers for other devices blocked access to the h/w for the correct drivers. To get both devices working I've done the following: 1. build a new kernel conf file in which I disabled any NIC that was not in my system (if you have a miibus based card such as my broadcom, ensure that you leave the line: 'device miibus' uncommented. 2. disbled all the soundcards that were not in my system. Note that many newer sound cards only need the pcm driver including the Realtek device on my m/b. 3. rebuilt the new kernel (check the handbook for details) and checked to see if it shows up in the boot messages (dmesg | more). 4. if 3, configure the ethernet card using ifconfig, and check out the basic 'using sound on freebsd' article on www.onlamp.com in the bsd section. 5. if not 3, you might check to see that you have the correct device nodes in your /dev directory for the soundcard (assuming you're running under Freebsd 4x and not 5). For me these are /dev/audio* if you still can't get it to work, email me directly and we'll see if we can work though it. regards, Charles To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
