This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_004D_01BF2D4B.F2EBA5B0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello, I'm following your book "The Complete FreeBSD" and have successfully installed the system. Now I'm trying to get a network connection. I have configured the Networking ~ Interfaces screen according to my network environment via /stand/sysinstall. Typing "ifconfig xl0" returns the name of my card, etc, so I know the 3Com 3c905 card we have is being seen on that device. Page 103 of the book has a section titled "Can't see 3Com PCMCIA board", and it seems to indicate that it might be necessary to configure the kernel to see the board at the appropriate IRQ / IOmem address, etc. (but if ifconfig finds it this shouldn't be the case...) In any case, I was unsuccessful doing this. I modified the GENERIC kernel configuration file by entering one line: device xl0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 10 iomem 0xd8000 I had verified that those addresses / irq value were correct by using the disk 1 visual kernel configuration utility (what comes up after bootup before the install process begins). Running the "make" failed with a driver not found related error. Then I tried commenting out the first appearance of "device xl0", where there was just a # comment after those words - same error on "make". Will a kernel configuration even be necessary here? Why didn't the sysinstall program make "xl0" my default network device?
