>Organization:
JackTel, Inc.
>Environment:
Dell 1750
>Description:
      When loading the boot floppies and then doing setup the system cannot see the NIC interface and the only FTP devices available are SLIP and PPP.  4.9 release can see the NIC interface and will run when installed but I need to go to the 5.2 release.
>How-To-Repeat:
      Load the 5.2 Release floppies then go through setup, select the FTP option.  The FTP interface does not see the 2 NIC interfaces and only offers SLIP and PPP.

Can you find out which kind of NIC is in there?

State-Changed-Why:  
From submitter: 
The NIC's are Broadcom I beleive.  Off the top of my head I cannot remember 
what the number is but I will find out for you.  The server is currently in 
service at a school customer of ours and they are on vacation until he end 
of the month.  I do not believe that it is a problem with the NIC itself 
but chipset recognition that is the problem.  The system is running fine on 
4.9 Release at the moment if that helps you any.  Let me know if you have 
any other questions. 

Later: 
I believe the problem is not the NIC itself but the host to PCI bridge that 
is not being recognized therefore the system cannot even see the NIC. 
Currently there is nothing in any of the PCI slots the NIC (2 of them) is 
integrated into the mother board.  I looked up the details on the 
motherboard and the chipset is a Serverworks GC LE with 2:1 memory 
interleaving.  On the general questions e-mail thread it was suggested to 
run the 4.9 release instead of 5.1 but we have had the 5.1 running since 
early August with ZERO problems on a Dell 1650.  We are replacing the 1650 
with a 1750 and I was being lazy and hoping I could just install the kernel 
move the config files and be done with it.  Not the case to this point.

A lot of work had been done for the broadcome nics, can you 
tell me whether the problem you described is still there in 
recent freebsd versions?
