You should have a diskette that came with the card that allows you to change the board's config. Set the "port" manually, i.e., one of aui/utp/bnc. And then use the appropriate ifconfig media option in /etc/rc.conf. See man fxp for that. HTH >I feel like I've missed some detail(s), but don't know what it is.
