I'm installing FreeBSD 4.9 on a brand-new machine. The problem is that it doesn't recognize my network card, no matter what I do. The vendor ID is 10DE and the device ID is 0066 (the BIOS tells me these numbers). I have 4.9-STABLE sources on another machine and I need to upgrade the system with a custom kernel, and install some already-compiled ports via NFS as well. The BIOS has a network boot feature, could I probably make use of that? Going with 5.X is not an option for me, I need a stable system for server use. Regards, Daniela
