So I try FreeBDS and decided that, since it supposedly supports that card, I'd try and use the internet install method and guess what??? No joy. So if I want to use FreeBsd do I have to downgrade to a slow 56k modem or can I use my 10Mbps cable modem???? IF I can ...HOW???? I waded through tons of FAQS and HOW TOs with Linux and found nothing. So before I waste my time can you give me an answer, is there a HOW TO on the subject or this one of the mysteries of life?
