Greetings Miguel, I have used D-Link network interface cards (NIC) with complete success. If you want to re-install FreeBSD try the following. Boot your computer with a DOS disk and use the D-Link setup program on the disk that came with the NIC to configure it. My NIC is set to interrupt 10 and an I/O address of 300 hex. You will need to select an unused interrupt and I/O address. I think the D-Link setup program will tell you if the settings you selected are conflicting with other hardware, but I may be wrong. Once you have configured the NIC and saved the settings boot the machine with the FreeBSD boot disk and choose the visual setup when prompted. Configure the ed0 adapter with the same settings you used to configure the NIC. If you do not want to reinstall FreeBSD you will have to edit the kernel configuration file and set the ed0 adapter parameters to match the NIC settings. The FreeBSD handbook explains how to do this, section 5 in the version I have. Toby To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
