Here's what ifconfig -s says lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 tun0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552 ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 And here's what ifconfig -au says: lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 So nothing is up except my loopback (unless I read this wrong). Also, ifconfig didn't say anything about ed0, which is where I think my NIC shuld be (it's a generic NE2000 compatible). This seems to fit with the fact that during start up, I get a message of "ed0 not found on 0x280". The card is just some old thing something I pulled out of a shoebox. If it's easy to reconfigure, I'd just as soon keep it. But if it'd be easier to buy a new card, that's fine too. I guess I'm a little scared of this card now, since I haven't done anything with the machine since I reinstalled FreeBSD a week ago (it was an FTP install, so the card was definitely fine then).
