Default FreeBSD 7.0 marvell yukon
Hi. New to this forum, but not to BSD. Got an Acer laptop currently running a NetBSD 4.0 x64/Ubuntu Ultimate 2.0 x64 dualboot, but I would like to change to FreeBSD 7.0 x86/Ubuntu Ultimate 2.0 x64. But before doing so I would like to ask something. Is my ethernet card supported nativelly in FreeBSD 7.0?
here is the linux lspci -v output
Code:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8039 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (rev 14)
And how good is support for this wifi card (internal "USB" chipset)?
Code:
Bus 007 Device 002: ID 0bda:8197 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187B Wireless Adapter

At the boot menu, escape to the loader prompt (it should be 6) and type load if_msk.

I've been having issues getting my ASUS M3A78-T, which uses the same Ethernet adapter (Marvell Yukon), to find DHCP servers (just hangs while "finding").

I tried this. I loaded if_msk from the boot loader prompt, then gave the command "boot". At reboot, FreeBSD still sometimes hangs while trying to resolve a network connection. When it does survive the boot process, I'm still left with a dumb Ethernet adapter, orange and yellow LEDs on the jack, and no connectivity to speak of.
