Broadcom on HP Proliant ML150G6 not detected by 8.0RC1 AMD64
Hello all I just installed FreeBSD 8.0RC1 AMD64 on my new HP Proliant ML150 G6 server. It fails to detect the Broadcom network interface. Pciconf -lv gives me the following. none3@pci0:4:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x705d10c chip=0x165b14e4 rev=0x10 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' class = network Subclass = Ethernet Is there something I can do, other than install an other network card? Regards, Johan Hendriks

It looks like a BCM5723 from the PCI ID. Support for it was just added in 9.0 as part of change 197832, but I suspect it might not need all the other patches from that change.
