Ethernet

Hi,

Computer won’t recognize ethernet cable, won’t connect to web. Cable good, works on other machine

In it’s previous incarnation as a windows laptop it was assigned a fixed IP address i believe.

Looking in ifconfig it look ok to me (hahaha?)
ifconfig_em0=“DHCP”

Does “ifconfig” show an em0 device?

Errrrrr…no, it’s not there,

see, just as well i asked…

Maybe the ethernet card is not supported by FreeBSD? Or did it work with an older version of NomadBSD?

assuming it’s real you can use win’s .sys driver for ethernet driver with ndis… but at the moment i don’t believe it. Please paste your full boot dmesg.

Hi,
I wouldn’t be surprised if something has frazled the ethernet card, the laptop has been used, and will hopefully be used again, while connected to a tether for a small ROV. Your help is much appreciated

Uhm, strange… it should work in freebsd but i read other with this problem.

Try with if_re_load="YES in /boot/loader.conf and force ifconfig re0 up …

And view https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=236962

basic you are wrong network interface

Hi,
I’m not quite sure what you mean, sorry.
my loader.conf file looks like this -

graphics_enable=“YES”

beastie_theme="/boot/themes/default/theme.conf"

#loader_color=“YES”
loader_logo=“nomadbsd”
loader_brand=“nomadbsd”
loader_menu_frame=“none”

hw.psm.trackpoint_support=1

Use new virtual terminal driver

hw.vga.textmode=1
kern.vty=vt

Make sure to wait for the root device to appear before trying root mount

vfs.root_mount_always_wait=1

Should i insert another line with
if_re_load=“YES”.

The link is totally beyond my level of understanding. With the ‘old’ previously non working now working, mainly, in this other computer i may try a USB copy of Nomad i have lying around. How do i check what version of Nomad, rather than FreeBSD is installed?

Hi,

I have another, different?, version of Nomad on a USB, i booted with that and the ethernet now works.
How do i know what version of Nomad i’m running? i’ll install the USB version onto the internal but before i do so it might be worth while comparing version?
gbar

system parity I suppose it is a matter of firmware. Remember you are using a freebsd system. Therefore: freebsd-version is the command for you.

Note: https://www.freebsd.org/docs.html Is fantastic resource

Hi and thanks.

I’m just not very familiar with this stuff but I have already checked, both the internal and external USB return the following

12.1-RELEASE-p6.

I was wandering if there was a way to show the specific Nomad identifier, the 1.3* bit.

Never mind, I’ll try fresh install from the ‘working’ USB
