Hi,

I'm in the same exact boat with you. I also have Gigabyte G41MT-S2P with the on board LAN AR8151.

I might have some success. After I installed SXE11 I tried to make the chip work by cheating it's pci-id and vendor-id in /etc/driver_aliases.

However, this is what I've done:

1. prtconv -pv | more
2. You can find the pci-id and vendor-id to be: pci1969,1073.
3. vi /etc/driver_aliases
4. search for the string 1969
5. You will find a two lines that read something like: atge "pciex1969,xxxx".
6. Add a new line after these two lines that reads: atge "pci1969,1073"
7. Save and exit vi.
8. update_drv atge0
9. devfsadm -i atge0
10. init 6

After doing this, I could see the LEDs of the RJ-45 blinking, which made me believe that I had succeeded in making the NIC to work. I also gripped atge from dmesg output, and I could see the NIC is up and uses full-duplex mode. However, ifconfig atge0 gives an error saying no such device.

I noticed a warning message at booting time that says atge is attached to unknown device with id 6506,4211. This could message could be an indicator to something, but I'm not sure. I'm still trying to get this thing running, but I thought I'd share my work until now.

I wonder what are the USB->LAN chip you used, in case I had to buy one. I'm not fuzzy about the gigabit speed for now, so, 10/100 USB will be an option to me.

Regards.

NAME

     my -- Myson Technology Ethernet PCI driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

	   device my

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   if_my_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The my driver provides support for various NICs based on the Myson chipset.  The Myson chipset is a variant of the DEC Tulip NIC chipset.

     The driver will work with almost any MII-compliant PHY, thus failure to positively identify the chip is not a fatal error.

HARDWARE

     The my driver provides support for various NICs based on the Myson chipset.  Supported models include:

     o	 Myson MTD800 PCI Fast Ethernet chip
     o	 Myson MTD803 PCI Fast Ethernet chip
     o	 Myson MTD89X PCI Gigabit Ethernet chip

SEE ALSO

     altq(4), de(4), netintro(4), pci(4), ifconfig(8)

HISTORY

     The my driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.6.

AUTHORS

     The my driver was written by Myson Technology Inc.

     This manual page was written by Hiten M. Pandya <hmp@FreeBSD.org>.

BUGS

     The my driver does not support Power Management Events (PME).
