HP Mini nic and wan chips
I can not detect them under other OS like FreeBSD UNIX.
Any help appreciated as HP provides no clue in the documents that came with the unit.
Thanks,
Al Plant... Hawaii

What unit are we talking about here.
Many low end PC's from HP simply use NIC cards that only work under windows.
To use these with Linux, I've had to install an LAN card.

Re: HP Mini nic and wan chips
Things to check:
- "lspci -v" and "lsusb -v" will display a detailed listing of PCI and USB devices, respectively. This information is part of the interface standards, so it can be displayed even if the device has no driver installed.
The most recent free PCI and USB ID catalogs are available here:
http://pciids.sourceforge.net/
http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids
- for NICs, see "ethtool -i ethN" where ethN is the NIC you're interested in. It will identify the Linux driver module running the NIC.
- also check the kernel message output (e.g. "dmesg | tail"). Many modules will print some information about detected hardware in the kernel message buffer. Many of those informational messages have a very low priority, so they are not usually copied to the system logs.

Re: HP Mini nic and wan chips
Most likely BSD has no drivers for the hardware.
The only way to get them is to determine the hardware manufacturer. If they have a driver for BSD fine. If not be ready to compile one.
