Dear All,
I'd like to say that I fully switched to FreeBSD however still have a big issue that prevents me to use FreeBSD daily.
I have issue with the "Atheros Killer E2400 Ethernet Adapter as formerly described here:
forums.freebsd.org
During the installation time FreeBSD was unable to use the ethernet and the wifi card, however in a former test I was able to get the ethernet working with NomadBSD, hence I tried to troubleshoot the ethernet card with NomadBSD again to check eventually which special setup allowed NomadBSD to have the ethernet working.
Well after 4 or maybe 5 rebooting with NomadBSD the NIC suddenly started to work and I was able to finish to setup FreeBSD, and everything have beeing doing smooth (for a week) until yesterday that I had to boot into Linux again.
I was worried this would triggered again the same issue and as a matter of fact when later I rebooted again in FreeBSD the NIC was again in that state that cannot get a DHCP address. I left the laptop dischargingg in order to verify if this is able to "reset" the state of the NIC and make it working again with FreeBSD. I am pretty sure when it worked with NomadNSD I forgot the laptop unplugged.
Anyway this is very annoying, is this a common issue when the same hardware is shared between FreeBSD and Linux?
I don't have any clue on how to address this issue, but it is clear that Linux leaves the NIC in a state that makes it unusable for FreeBSD. I can't provide my rc.conf, right now, since I forgot the pendrive where I saved it, but it is pretty standard and it doesn't have anything special:
Any hint and suggestion to understand what is happening is really appreciated!
Thanks,
D.

Solved - Atheros Killer E2400 Does Not Work!
Hi Folks, I am still uncertain if to be sad or upset, but this has been almost shocking for me and my future plans. During the WE, in my very few spare time available, I tested out the hardware compatibility of my laptop with the latest NomadBSD and GhostBSD, especially with the former which...
