      hello

      i am new on pfsense/bsd

      i have reg on a second ISP and tried to install pfsense on a box

      amd 2100+
      1go ram
      160 go IDE

      mb has one 10/100 nic and i have added a sun smb quad giga

      the installer has asked for vlan and listed one unic nic and didn't let me install pfsense
      launching the nic detector had the same issue

      so i have put a linux installer and it has detected the nics has national semi conductor DP83065 [saturn]

      i have read the capable hardware list and some sun quad nics were listed there but mine wasn't recognized

      is there a simple way to fix the situation

      thanks

      rog

        Linux != FreeBSD

        What version of pfSense did you try?

            Things to try:

            1. Grab a FreeBSD 7.2 Live CD and see if that detects it
            2. Grab a FreeBSD 6.4 Live CD and see if that detects it
