I have a PCI ethernet card and was wondering if I could get
FreeBSD support for it. The card is a NE2000 compatible card
but since the pci intialisation is at the end of a kernel boot
and ne2000 detection is at the start it doesnt get recognised.
Ander Linux the opposite occurs and the card works fine /proc/pci:
PCI devices found:
Bus 0, device 20, function 0:
Ethernet controller: Realtek 8029 (rev 0).
Medium devsel. IRQ 5.
I/O at 0xff80.
Any suggestions?
