I made the installation with the cd 1.5; and I try also the uptate from 1.3 to 1.5 with the patch: no success too…

What's the exact chipset of your network card?

Try adding:

Code:

if_nfe_load="yes"

to the /boot/loader.conf file (as root), reboot, then see if it shows up in ifconfig.

Thanks for the answers

my card is an Asus A8NE, the chipset is a nForce4…
But remember that this card worked fine with pc-bsd 1.3 !
pciconf -lv:
… nForce4 Ultra NVidia Network Bus Enumerator
It's better with if_nve_load="YES": I see now the card

ifconfig -a:
nve0: flags=8802<BROADCAST, SIMPLEX, MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 00:15:f2:65:0b:c9
media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX >full-duplex>)
status: active

But there is no IP adress, and the network doesn't work. My computer is on a lan, with dhcp adresses

I found:
dhclient nve0

And to put it at start up: add to /etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_nve0="DHCP"

Here is my ifconfig after applying the mentioned change to the /boot/loader.conf
