Hi,
I have installed FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE on my newly assembled computer. The default LAN driver (ale) does not seem to work. It is detected initially during the system startup then it is turned down by the system. The Motherboard (ASUS P5G41-M LE/CSM) details are on the following link:
http://commercial.asus.com/product/detail/18
The link describes that the LAN is "Gb Atheros PCIe" which fits the description given in man pages ale(4), age(4) and alc(4). I don't know which one to use. Is there a way to find out the chip number (AR 8???)? I have looked at the manual for the motherboard also without any success.
