FreeBSD 8 and marvell yukon 88e8057
Hello. I want to install FreeBSD 8 from internet but I can't because FBSD doesn't see my eth0 card. My PC is Sony Vaio VGN-NW21MF. Is there any solution for this problem?
Best regards Artur |

BSD's do not use generic network interface names, supported chipsets will use their own respective drivers.
Supported Marvell Ethernet devices use the msk(4) driver for example. The model 88E8057 is not mentioned, but it may be supported. Considering posting the output of dmesg(8) and/or ifconfig(8) if you need further help. Last edited by BSDfan666; 26th November 2009 at 04:57 PM. |

One simple way to configure your ethernet device is to use the sysinstall tool.
Sysinstall > Configure > Networking > Interfaces. It should show up as msk0 as BSDfan said |

Ok but I must first install the system from DVD or I can do the configuration my card from minimal CD?

Don't even need the CD/DVD if you use sysinstall, or add ifconfig_msk0="DHCP" to /etc/rc.conf
