Intel Ethernet Controller Driver
-
Hello
Version: 2.2-RELEASE (i386)
I have just setup PFSense on a old 1u server. The motherboard is a "Supermicro P4SGE" the onboard network controller is a "Dual Intel 82540EM".
The problem I am having is the "Dual Intel 82540EM" is not showing as a available interface, but from what I can see the card is supported by FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE
I have the driver for FreeBSD but cant use the make command. (em-7.4.2.tar.gz)
Is there anything i am missing or can try?

Can you boot another OS that supports the card, like some flavor of linux, and be sure the mobo and Ethernet card are functioning properly?

Hello kejianshi
I will try that now and get back to you.
Thanks

Cool - I suspected it was either turned off in bios or broken. Glad you found it.
