Re: Question about network card



My day job deals with Wired Ethernet at vendor ID 8086.

If you look at pciids.sourceforge.net you'll notice that you're talking
about a USB host controller and two PCIe root ports.

Have you tried booting Linux to see what it sees?

Konrad,

It's easy enough to try a current kernel temporarily. The ftp site nyftp.netbsd.org contains current images that are built every night. You didn't mention your platform, but if it's i386, then this kernel will work:

ftp://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/201208280330Z/i386/binary/kernel/netbsd-MONOLITHIC.gz

Place this kernel in the root of your filesystem and interrupt the boot loader, then issue the command:

boot netbsd-MONOLITHIC.gz

That should tell you whether current supports your second NIC or not.

Hello,

we're configuring NetBSD on a Supermicro X9SCM-F mainboard, that supposedly contains two NICs.

Alas, NetBSD 5.1 does only recognize on of them; for the other, all I see in dmesg is:

| hci0 at pci0 dev 26 function 0: vendor 0x8086 product 0x1c2d (rev. 0x05)
| ehci0: interrupting at ioapic0 pin 16
| ehci0: EHCI version 1.0

| ppb2 at pci0 dev 28 function 4: vendor 0x8086 product 0x1c18 (rev. 0xb5)
| ppb2: unsupported PCI Express version
| pci3 at ppb2 bus 3
| pci3: i/o space, memory space enabled, rd/line, wr/inv ok

Is there any chance that this would be running under -current, or are there things I could do to make it run? I'd rather not insert another pci card into the machine, but require two seperate NICs.

Thank you,
  Konrad
