[Tfug] freebsd nic help

[christopher floess]

High everyone. I've got a FreeBSD question here.

I was going to configure NAT on my machine, which
I had done before on a different machine, but for
some reason none of the extra  nics are recognized.
Does anyone have any idea of how to troubleshoot
this?

Here's ifconfig -a

bge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=1a<TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING>
        inet6 fe80::250:2cff:fe09:8a4d%bge0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        inet 68.105.xxx.xxx netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 68.105.140.255
        ether 00:50:2c:09:8a:4d
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
fwe0: flags=108802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=8<VLAN_MTU>
        ether 02:50:2c:09:9d:16
        ch 1 dma -1
plip0: flags=108810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
        inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
        inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4

You can see that bge0 works. That's my connection to the
outside world, but my inside nic's which both use the
realtek driver aren't listed, and on previous systems have
been under /dev/rlx .

I have a feeling this might be a hardware issue.
Unfortunately I don't know how to remedy hardware stuff
well. Paul, this is the system you sold me a while back, if
you have any ideas.

I also don't have any other pci cards to stick in the
slots to see if that might be the problem. Alright,
that about sums it up.

Thanks for any advice ~ Chris
