      hi everyone…

      i've got an old compaq 19" server. i hoped it would be a perfect plattform for pfSense. unfortunately the nic doesn't show up.

      The NIC ("Intel EtherExpress Pro / 100B Fast Ethernet Card") is listed in the official hardware list.

      has anyone a solution for me? thank you

          @Cry:

          Yes. on FreeBSD 7.0 its working fine for me. not tested on 6.2 or 6.3 but same effect on m0n0wall. its not working.

          is there a way to disable auto-detection and assign manualy a driver for the nics?

            I had a similar issue, it's on the list but does not work.  However, pfSense and FreeBSD found it just find, m0n0**** did not.  pfSense seems to be real good at intels, 3coms, and I think netgear, from what i've used.  As far as what you were asking, it's easier to get some other NIC's rather than try and do a workaround.

              If it works in FreeBSD 7.0, it'll work in 1.2.1.
