Intel NetEffect Net Effect NEO20-CX4

[gaohinc]

I have an Intel NetEffect Net Effect NEO20-CX4 10 GB ethernet card installed that i want to connect directly to my KVM/QEM VM Host machine but the FreeNAS 8.3.1 doesn't load the card's drivers? Does anyone know if this card will work? I've checked the FreeBSD 8.3 compatibility and it's kind of vague on the Net Effect cards by model number?

Any help would be appreciated....BTW I do have Linux drivers for the card but dont know how to use them? Any assistance there would be helpful if the card is supported?

Thanks!

Ok, first.. you didn't read the manual. FreeNAS is not a Linux OS. It is FreeBSD, or Unix. Your linux drivers are useless for Unix.

Second, why are you using the 8.3.1 beta(or worse.. nightly)? You should be sticking with RELEASE versions. Betas can be buggy.

So go try the 8.3.0 RELEASE and see if that works for you. Report back what happens. Network cards should "just work".

Sorry...i'm aware it is a FreeBSD release!

miss typed the release...I'm using the FreeNAS 8.3.0-RELEASE-p1 64-bit release.

Eew. If you are on the release version and its not working that means this probably isn't going to end well.

Can you post the output of the following commands:

dmesg | grep ethernet
pciconf -l

Please put them in [code][/code] for ease of reading.
