/G=David/S=Sandel/DD.ALISA=SANDELD@mhs-emerson.attmail.com stands accused of saying: > > Hi FREEBSD ... COULD SOMEONE THERE PLEASE ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS !!! > > I am runnig FreeBSD 2.1 on a PC. This is not a question. > When I first installed it I could not get the network running because > it had a3COM 3C590 card in it which FreeBSD does not have a driver for. This could be construed as a question. FreeBSD does have a driver for the 590. It's the 'vx' driver, and is currently under test in the -current tree. It could probably be brought back to a -stable system with minimal effort. > If I telnet to another device it IS SO SLOW ..

You haven't told the kernel the IRQ you've set the card to, or you haven't configured your motherboard to pass the IRQ to the ISA bus, or your '509 is broken. > Can I just finish the configuration manually , what commands do I use > to propoerly set the address and gateway ????
