According to the manual the 3c509 uses the ep driver. When you installed FreeBSD did it automatically find the card or did you have to change the configuration in the visual kernel thingy to match the configuration of the card (irq i/o etc...)? You may need to rebuild your kernel or change the settings on the card to match the current settings expected by the GENERIC kernel. When you boot your machine, wait until it finishes starting and then hit the scroll-lock key and then page up and see if it mentions the card at all. Andrew Perry On Fri, 15 Aug 1997, Susan R.
