What files do I need to modify when swapping NICs?
I have an intermittent no-name 32-bit PCI NIC card in a 32-bit PC, so I replaced the card with a new old stock Netgear 32-bit PCI NIC.
ifconfig identifed the old NIC as "vr0", but the new NIC is identified as "sis0".
After changing the "vr0" reference in /etc/rc.conf to "sis0" and rebooting, ifconfig reports:
sis0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=8<VLAN_MTU>
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
ifconfig also indicates the correct inet, netmask and broadcast IPs.
I'm able to ping yahoo.com, but I'm unable to access any of the data on the server via the web or ssh into the PC since swapping the NICs.
I changed all of the "vr0" references in /etc/pf.conf and ipf.rules to "sis0" and ran:
...but that didn't help. So I'm guessing there's another file(s) that contains the original NIC card's "vr0"?
I've searched the forums as well as google, but can't find the answer.
p.s. After replacing the original NIC and replacing the updated config files with the originals, all's well....except for that intermittent NIC that I still want to replace.
p.p.s. Is there a way to force BSD to recognize or identify the new Netgear NIC as "vr0" rather than "sis0"?
