(also PCI) I'm sure the generic kernel has all kinds of extras compiled in that I don't need, and it currently isn't bringing up the network on the 590 card so I'd like to recomile the kernel to just support what I need. So... can anybody shed some light on exactly how I do this ? I've recompiled Linux kernels a few times but the process is escaping me for FreeBSD. I'd really like to get the PCI ethernet card compiled in if it is supported. Is it ?
