you can hard code this when you compile the kernel or you can set it in /boot/kernel.conf (this is where it is set during sysinstall). if this nic is not plug and play then beware! for legacy cards that dont support PnP the irq and io address are set using a 'setup' programme usually runable from dos only. check with your vendors web site. hope this helps GREG > I tried to install FreeBSD 3.4 a I had problem with ethernet card.
