FreeBSD 7.0 beta networking support under VirtualBox 1.5.2?

[shassard]

Hi all,

I've been toying with the new FreeBSD 7.0 beta 1.5, and find that networking no longer seems to work under virtualbox.

The AMD pcnet NIC is properly detected, but no packets flow.

I'm not having any problems with FreeBSD 6.2 release, so it's definitely something with the 7.0 beta ..

Thanks,
Steve

I've filed a bug against FreeBSD 7 ..

In another thread here it was documented that a workaround exists.

ifconfig pcn0 media 10baseT/UTP

That seems to do the trick getting the NIC to pass traffic properly.

For automatic configuration of the if at startup:

Code: Select all

ifconfig_pcn0="media 10baseT/UTP"

in /etc/rc.conf
