Io the pci attempted to verify the hardware specs before purchase through the documentation and via this list but I'm concerned I may have overlooked something. In a nutshell I can't get the network interfaces recognized and working. Objective to have monowall with 6 interfaces. Hardware details: Supermicro PDSMi motherboard Pentium D 920 (dual core 2.8 GHz) Dual 10/100/1000 NICs (Intel 82573V) PCI-X card: Intel PRO 1000 MT Quad port adaptor (uses 2 82546EB controllers) 512 MB RAM (2 - 256MB modules) 1 GB IDE flash module Monowall version: generic-pc-1.22 Problem specifics: On initial boot monowall reports 2 interfaces and assigns them as sis0-> LAN and sis1-> WAN. But neither of these interfaces work. If I select option 1 to assign interfaces I am then presented with a list of 4 other interfaces: em0, em1, em2, em3. I've tried assigning these interfaces as follows: em0-> WAN em1-> LAN em2 -> OPT1 em3 -> OPT2 Note, I could not use the autodetect option. It would fail. Auto detect would only recognize em1 and em0. I entered the values for em2 and em3 manually. Manually configuring the interfaces gets WAN and LAN functional but the other interfaces (OPT1 & OPT2) are reported as down in the webGUI. Fixes attempted: Re-downloaded 1.22 and re-wrote IDE flash module Disabled USB & SATA in BIOS Set large disk support to 'Other' as BIOS suggested for UNIX type systems. There doesn't appear to be a BIOS setting to turn off Plug n Play. Also I didn't find anything that relates to designating the OS in the BIOS. I've contacted the hardware vendor and asked them if there are hidden settings to disable PnP. I've also asked them about FreeBSD 4.x compatibility. The tech didn't think there were any FreeBSD compatibility issues. But he is researching these two issues for me. Has anyone successfully used a PDSMi motherboard with monowall? Any suggestions on how to further troubleshoot? I've used monowall on other pc systems and net45xx devices without issue. Setup and configuration have always gone somoothly until this time. Comments are recommendations are appreciated.
