I work in a research environnement and one of my project was to install different kinds of OS's for testing. I am using emulators, so I don't need hundred of computers in the lab. For now I have installed FreeBSD 2.2.0 and up in a producted called VMWare, and it is working fine. My question is: I have installed FreeBSD 2.1.X but I can't get the network up because the if_lnc_p.c driver for pci amd network cards is not supported. But was supported starting version 2.2.0. I would like to know if somebody can tell me how to integrate a new driver in a old version of FreeBSD or tell me of a web site that can help me. I would really appreciate anybody's help.
