freebsd stable - Nov 2006 - hp c class blade

Hi.

I've installed FreeBSD 6.2 RC1 onto a BL460c blade. The installation
itself went fine, but there is no network. The nic is on a broadcom 16
ports GB switch on the backside of the blade-chassis.

I have booted in safe mode and without acpi, but still no nic unfortunately.

regards
Claus

Forgot to mention it was the amd64-port.

I don't have physical access to the server atm. I'll get the
information tomorrow.

What kind of NIC is it?  Type "pcicinf -lv" and look for it.
If you tell us the name, vendor ID and device ID (or even
better, the whole section from pciconf output), someone
might be able to tell you details about the support status
of it in FreeBSD.

Best regards
