Hi all, with great excitement am I setting up my unix box -- under FreeBSD. So far so good: I got the printer installed fine, scsi card Tekram 390F works fine and drives. I commented out the maximum from the config file. WHAT I DON'T GET TO WORK SO FAR $%&$%*#$% excuse me, ahem, is this Ethernet Card. I found documentation on this site that de0 supports all DEC 21x40 that is 040 AND 140. So my card should work fine too. I understand also from a couple of other postings before that the card needs to be hooked up to the network to come up. Honestly i am a little overwelmed by the mighty unix. A little advice would be very much appreciated. In the config file I set de0 that's all (the other card drivers have many more specifics, why this one bare?) I've cruised around the file system /etc has a number of configuration files like rc.something and then there are many others. the mb is an asust2t4, the scsi card tekram 390F Scsi2, ps2m, svga, 32mb, P200 BIOS is Award. The boot finds the device, vendor name, etc, but then: unknon device I hope somewhere out there has some relief !! Thank you! John Gather
