It is also available at http://www.welearn.com.au/freebsd/newbies/) FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.ORG is the place to send all questions about installing, configuring, running and using FreeBSD. All help requests are handled by FreeBSD-Questions, including newbies questions. FreeBSD-Newbies is different. We don't ask for help or answer how-to questions. It is a discussion forum for newbies. FreeBSD-Newbies provides a place for new FreeBSD users to meet and covers any of the activities of newbies that are not already dealt with elsewhere. Examples include helping each other to learn more on our own, finding and using resources, problem solving techniques, how to seek help elsewhere, how to use mailing lists and which lists to use, general chat, making mistakes, boasting, sharing ideas, stories, moral (but not technical) support, and taking an active part in the FreeBSD community. We take our problems and support questions to freebsd-questions, and use freebsd-newbies to meet others who are doing the same things that we do as newbies. One of the things we do together is learn more effective ways to find help when we need it. Here are some suggestions: When something doesn't work the way you expect 1. First look at the errata for your release of FreeBSD at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/releases/ for the latest information and security advisories. 2. Search the Handbook, FAQ, and mail archives at http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/search.html 3. If you still have a question or problem, collect the output of `uname -a' and of any relevant program(s) and email your question to FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. Mailing lists When you have a problem that you can't solve by yourself, there's only one support mailing list and that's FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.ORG. FreeBSD-questions helps with installation and basic setup as well as more general and advanced questions. You don't have to actually join freebsd-questions before asking a question there. Replies to your question will normally be sent to you personally as well as to the list. Just make sure you have read and followed the guidelines for posting, because you might find them different to what you're used to. If you do subscribe to freebsd-questions you'll have the advantage of seeing all of the recent questions and their answers. Before you post to FreeBSD-questions, please read the guidelines at http://www.lemis.com/questions.html Many of the people who answer FreeBSD-questions are very knowledgeable, but they get frustrated when they get questions which are difficult to understand. http://www.lemis.com/email.html is worth reading too. If you're not sure that you can follow these guidelines, come back and ask the other newbies for help on how to post an effective question to the support mailing list. Maybe your question has been asked before. If you search the mailing list archives at http://www.freebsd.org/search.html first you might get the answer right away. It's always worth trying. Other mailing lists (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/eresources.html#ERESOURCES-CHARTERS) cover specialised areas and many are more developer-oriented. You'll need to read their charters carefully before participating, but it's probably a good idea to ask on either -newbies or -questions for advice about where to post a more specialised question. FreeBSD-announce is a very low volume read-only list for occasional announcements, such as notice of new releases, and the Really Quick Newsletter. It's worth subscribing to FreeBSD-announce too. Manuals You'll always be expected to show that you have made some effort to use the available documentation before asking for help. That's not always as easy as it sounds! If you know what documentation you need but can't locate it, send a brief query to FreeBSD-questions. If you don't know what you need, always have trouble finding it, or can't make any sense of it when you do, ask some patient newbies to steer you in the right direction. Anyone interested in writing or reviewing documentation for FreeBSD is encouraged to join the FreeBSD Documentation Project. Details are at http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/docproj.html Other resources A resource list is available at http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html to help new and inexperienced FreeBSD users to find relevant information quickly. It includes books, on line documents and tutorials, and links to web pages that other newbies have found useful for learning. If you have a suggestion for good material to be included, please write to freebsd-newbies and tell us about it. But I have seen people asking questions here! It is quite common for people to send the wrong kind of post to a mailing list. Because we're newbies it'll certainly happen here from time to time. The best thing to do if you see a message that doesn't belong on a list is to ignore it. There's always someone around whose job it is to sort these problems out privately. The posts to the lists go straight through, whatever their content. It is going to be confusing for a little while because we're all newbies so we all make mistakes. That's OK. One thing we're going to see a fair bit is people posting questions, believing they're doing the right thing by posting here as newbies, not realising how it works. If someone answers those questions the situation will snowball. There's nothing wrong with helping someone to redirect their question to freebsd-questions, but please do so gently. There's nothing wrong with the occasional mistake either. So all questions, requests for help, etc still go to freebsd-questions as usual. Ours is more of a discussion group, a place where newbies can relax with other newbies and focus more on our successes than on our temporary imperfection. We can talk about things here that are not allowed on freebsd-questions. We're also a bit freer to make the mistakes that we need to make in order to learn. _________________________________________________________________ To Subscribe to FreeBSD-Newbies: Send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "subscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message.

I am quite new to the Linux/Unix systems and would like some guidance. I followed all of the rules of the installation guide. Before the installation I had made a hardware inventory list as according to the instructions, and I for my ethernet adapter I have a NetGear FA311 Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter with IRQ 09 and I/O port 3800-38FF. I searched in the hardware listings and found it in the National Semiconductor DP83815 Fast Ethernet NICs section under a sis driver. In the kernal setup in the beginning of the installation, I chose "Start kernel configuration in full-screen visual mode", and collapsed the driver list.There I see 5 network adapters. However none of the drivers seems to be sis. So I began experimenting with the two possible adapters, the NE2000 PCMCIA with ed driver and another driver (don't remember its name but it is sn). I (one only at a time of course, not simultaneosly) configured their IRQ port to 09 and did not change their I/O range. They obviously did not work, but I am confused as I received different responses. For the NE2000 on 0-300 I/O and set up the network, nothing responded - (1. Trying to enable DHCP returned errors, and 2. when I manually enter the information LYNX responded with "Host cannot be reached", and 3. No ping requests were returned), so I decided that it wasn't the right driver. Next I tried the sn one, changed IRQ port to 09 but did not touch the I/O port which IIRC was set default at 280. The results - DHCP returned errors, when input by hand LYNX responded with Looking up host and stopping in that stage, and no ping requests were returned either. I am now quite confused. I never touched the I/O ports settings which was set at default of 300 and 280 for the NE2000 and ns respectively, while it was 3800-38FF (different format?) on windows. If both adaptors were wrongly configured (which I suppose they have to be) then why did they return with different results? As I am an extreme newbie please enlighten me on this matter.

This is on an IBM NetVista with a LinkSys NIC (PCI), it all went very smoothly. However I have an older IBM PC 750 with an ISA 3Com NIC in it, and it seems to be doing the same thing that you are talking about. It just won't make connection, even if I enter the information by hand. I had two of these cards, and neither one seems to work. And yes, FBSD finds the card on boot up. I must confess that since I had the newer machine up and running, I didn't pursue the problem with the older one, though at some point I hope to have it up and running with FBSD too.

Keep in mind that my advice is worth exactly what you're paying for it. It looks to me like you're working too hard at this. Assuming you have burned yourself a CD, ignore the NICs in the initial kernel set-up. According to my GENERIC kernel file (from 4.3), once you complete the installation sis is built automatically active within the kernel. At that point, you should be able to set your network settings and be done with it. You shouldn't even need to rebuild the kernel. If you are trying to install from ftp, I have no idea what you should do (other than try to come up with a CD). I have no idea why you are getting two different error messages for two different drivers, except possibly that one may be more or differently (in)compatable with the sis driver that you seem to need. BTW, good work on your troubleshooting.
