Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 420 @ 1.60GHz


The question now is supports FreeBSD 8.1-RC1 the chipset? Since the card is not appear.
Could FreeBSD 8.1 stable supported it?

I can't find a list of hardware support for FreeBSD 8.1. Only that (FreeBSD 8.0):

Thanks for your help and excuse the bad English.
 
AFAIK there's no native FreeBSD driver for it but you can try to convert the Windows driver with ndisgen(8).

@lme@: Too bad it is not native.
Now I have to install this driver.

Ok, how do I install a git package on pfSense? git is not available on pfsense.
Thanks for your help.
 
I doubt that pfSense ships with /usr/src and gcc. So you probably need to install FreeBSD 8.1-RC1 on a (virtual?) machine, install git, download the driver's sources and compile it. The you copy the kernel module to the pfSense box, turn around three times, go backward twelve steps, do a handstand, cross your fingers and load the module. :)
 
Ok, here's the status: I'm working on it, but it is not so easy as you think. ;)
I write when I was progressing.
Danke.
