Hi

I have just intalled FreeBSD for the first time (FreeBSD-4.2 from December
2000). Apparently there are some problems with the network setup. I cannot
access other hosts in my network.
I think the problem is the configuration of my 10-BaseT Ethernet Card (PCI,
NE2000, Realtek 8029).

Looking at dmesg I've found the following lines:
config> en ed0
No such device: ed0
Invalid command or syntax. Type '?' for help.
config> po ed0 0x280
No such device: ed0
Invalid command or syntax. Type '?' for help.

There are a lot of lines similar to these:
config> di sn0
config> di lnc0
config> di ie0
config> di fe0
config> di cs0
config> di bt0
config> di adv0
config> ir edo 10
config> iom ed0 0xd8000
config> f ed0 0
config> en ata0
config> po ata0 0x1f0
config> ir ata0 14
..
and goes on ...

somewhere later the following line appear:
pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x10ec, dev=0x8029) at 14.0 irq 11
(which i guess is my eth card, just because the 8029 matches the model number)

The output of ifconfig -a is:
faith0: flags=8000<MULTICAST> mtu 1500
gif0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
gif1: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
gif2: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
gif3: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1280
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000

I know that the hardware and network are OK, because I had Linux running before
installing FreeBSD.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Fernan
