Networking with FreeBSD client

[corvix]

I'm using VirtualBox 1.5.4 with NAT networking and a FreeBSD 7RC1 client. I had to manually set the media of the networkadapter to get things working: ifconfig pcn0 media 10baseT/UTP

Hi!

I just tried to start RC2 iso: ​ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/7.0/7.0-RC2-i386-bootonly.iso

And the DHCP fails to configure the network. Should we raise the priority of this bug?

I'm having the same issue. Is there already a fix for this?

[Frank Mehnert]

No fix available. FreeBSD does not like our PCNet network adapter for some reasons. But changing the network adapter from PCNet-III to PCNet-II in the VM settings should make the network card work.

[Frank Mehnert]

For FreeBSD use the E1000 emulation.

The problem with Am79C973 emulation, which no one probably cares about anymore, is now fixed in svn. It fixes both FreeBSD and NetBSD guests.
