I'm running FreeNAS-8.2.0-RELEASE-p1-x86 (r11950) and have been using the motherboard's NIC (msk0) w/ no issue. I recently decided to install 2 PCI cards - a TrendNet TEG-PCITXR (re0) and an Atheros wireless NIC. The TrendNet NIC (re0) does appear on the list of available interfaces and has been configured w/ a static IP of .100. However, I'm unable to access this box as soon as I set the WebGUI IP to this NIC (.100). So, how do I know if this NIC is working in the first place? I tried pinging .100 over the network and it responded fine.

Does this mean I'd have to install the nge(4) drivers for the TrendNet NIC from http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.2R/hardware.html#ETHERNET?

On the other hand, the Atheros NIC wouldn't even show up as an available interface.

Thanks in advance for your help.

There is no WiFi support in FreeNAS, none at all.

Got it. How about the TrendNet Gig NIC? What would be the reason I'm unable to use the configured IP for WebGUI access or for any other traffic?

Thanks

You'll have to do some searching here in the forums, I think I recall that only the first card can be used for the GUI.
