Hi,
I have just installed FreeBSD 10 on a thinkpad T430.
During the installation, there is a "Network configure" screen that sees both my wired and wireless interfaces, however, for both of them DHCP fails. However, I'm pretty sure it is not DHCP's or network fault, as you'll see below.
I skip the step, finish the installation, then, after running
The
So neither cabled or wireless NICs seem to work. I have another laptop in the network (on which I tested the same cable, and I use the same wireless network), on which both cabled and wireless network are fine, and DHCP gives ip, so I'm pretty sure that the network or cable are not the problem.
Also
Is it possible that the drivers for the NICs are not supported ? Looking for the numbers "82579" and 6205", from the device names, here: https://www.freebsd.org/releases/10.0R/hardware.html
I don't seem to find them.
Although, the FreeBSD Intel drivers found here, for the cabled NIC: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/De...g=eng&OSVersion=FreeBSD*&DownloadType=Drivers seem to cover my 82579LM model.
However, running
Or you think it is not a driver issue ?
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks,
