The output of pciconf -lv says that the network card is a "Marvell Semiconductor (Was: Galileo Technology Ltd)" card=0x01101025 chip=0x435211ab.
The audio chip is "Intel High definition audio" which I think will work with snd_hda.
The main problem is the network card. Yesterday I tried to compile a patched kernel for "msk" support but it failed with the e1000phy compilation.
Hope I will get this to work today. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I just bought an Acer Aspire 3680 (3861WXM) notebook. I installed FreeBSD 6.2 i386 but I do not get things to work and I did not find any useful information on this topic.
First Problem: The internal ethernet card
There are no specifications on that, I think it is integrated in to the Intel Mobile 940 GML chipset. I tried all if_* drivers but none worked.
Second Problem: The internal sound card
Same as above... Tried all snd_* drivers.
Marv,
you should not expect everybody here to know your hardware. What about `pciconf -lv' and `dmesg'? At least pciconf would help to identify your chipsets and most times you'll find hints by googling for the pci-id.

Marv,
searching for your NIC, I've found this:
11AB Marvell Semiconductor (Was: Galileo Technology Ltd) 4352 Yukon 88E8038 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller
A google search was leading me to a few discussions on current@ for this chip.
I guess you've tried to use a patch against -CURRENT with a 6.2-RELEASE version which is not a good idea.
cvs shows, support for this chip has been MFC'd 8 days ago into -STABLE (see: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/msk/if_msk.c). You should cvsup to RELENG_6, recompile world + kernel and try msk then.
HTH,
Volker
