Hi, I apologise if this is the wrong forum. I have to clone an old HP x386 freeBSD 4.5 system to a new DELL 400SC machine. I am taking the opportunity to upgrade to 4.9. In the setup I see no network devices are configured. There are a bunch that I could select (eg IBM Etherjet, NE100,....etc), but I don't have any good idea what to choose. I used the DELL cd and bios setup. Depending on which source I have either a legacy NIC w/pex (bios) or an INTEL PRO 1000 MT Gigabit Ethernet adapter (Setup CD hardware). I tried the setup kernel and with lsdev I see something called pex, but am not sure if that's the NIC. Is there anyone with some good advice on how to proceed? I can always add one of the various ethernet cards we have lying about if all else fails. -- Robin Becker
