I bought a new PCIe NIC a few months ago and was working with Jack Vogel
on getting it to work but he was busy then I got busy and things stalled.
Does anyone else have any idea what might be wrong here? The card is
recognized but the em driver fails to initialize it for some reason. I'm
running 7-STABLE and the standard information is below.
uname -a (system csuped within a couple hours of build time):
FreeBSD storage.kc8onw.net 7.0-STABLE FreeBSD 7.0-STABLE #8: Wed Apr 30

dmesg lines for em1 (full dmesg available if needed):

Thank you,

[snip discussion] Sorry to all for the noise, turns out that with a motherboard BIOS update the card is recognized and initialized fine. For the archives the board was an Asus P5B-VM DO and had the 0505 BIOS. I updated to the 1001 version. Jonathan Stewart
