Hi,dear gurus,

I'm trying to install 3.0-REL on a Compaq PL3000 server:
PII-300x2/256M. The symbios SCSI controllers worked just
flawlessly.Now my trouble is:

NICs don't work!

The original nic is a TI ThunderLan: Compaq Netelligent 10/100
PCI UTP. but 3.0-REL cannot identify it. I soon find out that
It's compaq's fault: Wrong/old dated PCI-ids. (They sold us a 
server this year with a 1996 NIC!). I gave up this card.

Now I'm trying an Accton 1207(Digital 21143), It works on my
UP machine under ervery version of FreeBSD. But this time
something strange occured: the install diskette cannot identify
it too! though it's an UP kernel!

So what's the right NIC should I use on this compaq beast?
And is there some SMP related issues on NICs?
Or it's just because of compaq's weird SMP?

great TIA!
