Broadcom 57810 Network Card

[Marc Spafford]

Someone in my company bought a Broadcom 57810 Network adapter hoping they could use it with FreeNAS. It looks like freebsd has a bnx driver that is suppose to support this network adapter. Can anyone help me out on how to get FreeNAS to recognize and use this PCI card?

Thanks.

The driver is bxe, but I don't know if it's been merged from 10.0 into 9.2 yet. Does ifconfig show a bxe device? If not, please create a feature request at bugs.freenas.org and post the issue number here.

No ifconfig does not show the interfaces. I did a pciconf -lvb and see the PCI board but no interfaces. I will put in a feature request.
