The way I check to see if the NIC is properly recognized & configured during installation is to "pretend" I'm doing an FTP install (whether I am or otherwise). If the NIC is OK it will be in the list of interfaces .... if its not there its obviously not a happy little NIC. I don't like generic / asian junk NICs & refuse to have anything to do with them, however lots of people claim to have some measure of success so I guess its worth a punt if you have more patience than I do. The number you stated sounds like its a RealTek. If thats correct it means an NE2000 driver "should" work as long as the actual IRQ is what FreeBSD thinks it is. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Astill" <bastill@sa.apana.org.au> To: "questions" <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2001 2:31 PM Subject: Pocket Ethernet Adaptor (Parallel) > Greetings all! > I want to connect my ancient laptop to my network, but install, though > apparently recognising the network adapter on IRQ7 at boot-up (or am I > mistaken?) does not offer me any such options at Network Installation time. > Should it? > Could it? > The driver needed is for RTL8002 > > -- > Regards, > Brian > > ******************************************************** > Dr Brian Astill Visiting Research Fellow > Flinders University Institute of International Education > Bus 8201 3480 FAX 8449 9199 > bastill@sa.apana.org.au > ******************************************************** > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
