Well, here's my first post.. I'm a confessed newb finally opening the doors into the world of BSD.

I'm installing OpenBSD 3.6 on a recently rebuilt system (AMD XP 2000, 1GB DDR, 2x 40GB HDD, Abit NF7-S2 Motherboard (with nForce 2 chipset for audio + nic)) and of course, I'm having problems.

OpenBSD is not wanting to recognize my NIC. I'm almost certain I saw it on the supported hardware list, does anyone know of any reason why it would not be recognizing the NIC? I know the NIC is good.. I load up a knoppix cd and have no troubles at all... Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give!

there is some hack to get that nic working, as I believe its not fully supported....someone on google has a page about it, though I believe they were using freebsd

If I remember right, it uses the forcedeth driver. Check if you have that loaded and if not, you'll need to load it/enable it in the kernel
