NIC not recongnize by PFsense (Solved by install PFS1.2.3)
-
Hi all,
I am having trouble to get my onboard NIC to work. MB is ASUS P5KPL-CM with a Atheros Attansic l1e onboard NIC.
After i install PFsense 1.2.2, its not recongnize the onboard NIC but the other 2 PCI NIC is working. Due to the limitation of PCI slot, i am not able to add the 3rd PCI NIC.
I tried follow this link (http://www.sofee.cn/blog/2006/08/05/27/) to install the driver for the onboard NIC.
I download the driver from here http://www.esecuredata.com/KB/Configuring%20ASUS%20P5KPL-CM%20Attansic%20l1e%20atl1e%20NICs%20in%20Debian,%20Ubuntu,%20Centos%20or%20Fedora.aspx
However, after i download the file, i cannot get the "Make" to work. its always said "Command not found".
Anyone can give me a hand?

I suggest you try a pfSense 1.2.3 snapshot build. They can be downloaded from http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_RELENG_7_2/pfSense_RELENG_1_2/updates/
These builds use a more recent version of FreeBSD with more up to date hardware support.

The first link is for a Marvell driver, and the second link is for Linux. Neither of those is going to help.
Wallabybob's advice is sound- it looks like the driver is in 7.2:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ale&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+7.2-RELEASE
DESCRIPTION
The ale device driver provides support for Atheros AR8121 PCI Express
Gigabit Ethernet controller and Atheros AR8113/AR8114 PCI Express Fast
Ethernet controllers. -
Thx for the quick reply. I will give it a go.
