i have a 3com ethernet card(3c509b) in my system connected to a cable modem. for some reason when i try to install freebsd (over the network, ftp) it tells me that i have an invalid ip address. when i look at the card, neither the active connection (green) light on either the ethernet card or the cable modem is on. i was wondering if you could help get the card to initialize... btw, linux doesn't initialize it either, and so far my only luck with it is win95 (and it takes 10 min to boot, most of the time looking at the card). i have had both the ethernet card and the cable modem replaced and was wondering if you had any suggestions. thank you, douglas jacobsen
