Default NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller
Hello !

I have a NVIDIA nForce ethernet card and i don't manage to make it work on PCBSD. KDE seems to recognize the device (i use an AOLBox). In the internet devices control panel it's written "Inventel AOLBox" and i chose DHCP to connect (i don't know my ip...). When i open mozilla or any internet browser it says the computer is unable to connect.
I installed the nvnet pbi package but it didn't change anything.

Is there any way to make it work or i'll have to buy another ethernet card ?

Thanks to those who take the time to read this (and answer i hope...).

P.S : Sorry for my poor english, i'm working hard to improve it.

FreeBSD has a driver for the NVIDIA MCP ethernet adapter in ports, located in /usr/ports/net/nvnet.
If you do not have ports installed, I suggest using
Code:
portsnap fetch extract
to install.
If you have ports installed, use
Code:
portsnap fetch update
to get the latest ports.
