I bought an SMC EZ isa nic card and plugged it into an open ISA slot on my machine. Next I booted up and did the following: ping localhost -- It worked Next I tried ifconfig ed0 -- and the system returned stating that an ed0 device was not installed. I ran /stand/sysinstall and went through the network configuration menus but never saw the ed0 device. ifconfig -a returned ppp0, lp0, s10 but not ed0. I am not sure what I am missing. My goal is to configure PPPOE so that I can access the internet over the internet. Thanking you in advance for your time.

Hello I am a newbie to FreeBSD and wanted to ask about an issue related to NIC card installation.

I bought an SMC EZ isa nic card and plugged it into an open ISA slot on my machine. 

Next I booted up and did the following:

ping localhost  -- It worked

Next I tried ifconfig ed0 -- and the system returned stating that an ed0 device was not installed.

I ran /stand/sysinstall and went through the network configuration menus but never saw the ed0 device.

ifconfig -a returned

ppp0, lp0, s10 but not ed0.

I am not sure what I am missing.

My goal is to configure PPPOE so that I can access the internet over the internet.

Thanking you in advance for your time.
