It doesn't matter since the driver hasn't changed, so it doesn't make any different but they were using -stable. > I am using stable on the notebooks. > > Thanks for the info, I may have to run around town and > find some folks with 3c589B cards, Hmmmm my wife will not > understand on valentines day :-( I'm 99.9% positive that the C model works. Are you *absolutely* sure that the card's configuration is the same as what FreeBSD expects? You need to make sure that the port, IRQ, *and* IOMEM are the same. (Unfortunately on the first two are settable, so the third must be obtained by looking at another menu entry in the program that configures them). Are you *sure* that you configured them w/out Card services running (which won't save the settings in NVRAM). Is the found on bootup? If yes, do you have the correct 'link' parameters set in the ifconfig line for your network connector? Nate
