Could you attach your syslog?

syslog and ifconfig output have been attached.

Thanks.

Relevant messages from the syslog:

Maybe you can try toggling PnP OS in BIOS? See also https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/17122/

Unfortunately, the bios on the hardware that I reported the problem on does not have a PNP-OS option. It's an old system that most folks would think only useful as a door stop or boat anchor. This hardware does run the most recent 32-bit-Intel version of Lubuntu, http://lubuntu.net, successfully from a network hardware perspective and also plays mp3's successfully with mpg123 utility for Linux. I uploaded some screenshots of bios info for the hardware for whatever informational value they might have; I hope it helps. "A CPU is a terrible thing to waste.".

Regards & Thanks!

Maybe you could try turning off ACPI in the bootloader?

Disabling ACPI in bootloader did the trick. Both wired/wireless nics now seen by network config and wireless networking now functioning. Will verify wired functionality in next day or so and log a note to case. Thanks!

Wired nic verified as working as well.

I consider this issue resolved. I do not have any UI options to close/resolve this issue/ticket otherwise I would do so.

comment:9 by diver, 9 years ago

We should leave it open, clearly, something is wrong with ACPI or kernel. Probably one of the developers can ask you to provide additional info.

comment:10 by diver, 9 years ago

Possibly related messages from the syslog:

no local APIC present, not attempting SMP init
disabling msi due to missing apic

comment:11 by domcaf, 9 years ago

Ok, we can leave this issue/ticket open and I'll do what I can to provide more diagnostic info when someone asks for it..
