      I purchased an acrosser AR-M0898B box. The first two nic ports detect fine and seem to work but the 3 & 4 nic are not found. It appears that that the 5906 is a PCI-E controller. Is there any way to get it to work? I am using the flash build of the product so any directions should take that into account.  I am not a BSD expert. I can follow good directions. I have tried both the 1.1 and the 1.2 RC3

      Please Help Thanks.

        I found this link. Is it possible to get this code in a release version to allow the BCM5906.

          We do not use OpenBSD.  We use FreeBSD.

            Thanks for your response. I missed that the post for open BSD. Is there any way of getting support for these the BCM5906 chip sets. The acrosser guys are starting to use them on their newer boards.

            Thanks

              It will happen in due time as we upgrade to newer FreeBSD versions.
