Yeah, I get the same message when I work on the standalone box, I was referring to. However I can do an ifconfig -a and the device shows up present as de0. And after I get to a prompt it even gives me an error to the tone of "are you sure your cable is plugged in." I know it works... This is going to sound really dumb, but... 1.) Try moving it into a different PCI slot- I've had to do this before 2.) Go to kingston.com and download the utility for this card use a dos bootdisk and boot into dos, switch disks, run the utility and reprogram the rom for 11/320 or 10/300. FreeBSD likes these!!! 3.) Adjust FreeBSD accordingly. ----- Original Message ----- From: mac <mac.list@deam.org> Date: Thursday, November 9, 2000 9:28 am Subject: Re: KNE100TX - Ethernetcard > Kenneth Wayne Culver wrote: > > > it looks like you have the exact same card I have... this is very > > odd... can you do a dmesg | grep de0, and send me EVERYTHING it > > shows? it's very odd that it's using the compatability shims... > you may > > want try getting -STABLE on there... or at least 4.1.1 by doing > an ftp > > install.. > > re, > > the only stuff within dmesg is > de0: <Digital 21140A Fast Ethernet> at device 11.0 on pci0 > de0: driver is using old-style compatibility shims > nothing more. > > the complete thing is very nasty, because i do have an ls120 in > this maschine and i > cant boot from it (i tried many things). a friend borrowed me an > normal diskdrive > and then i installed the cd-version (this damn scsi-cdrom also > won't boot). > > i want to update the machine, but without the networkcard running > it's really a > problem. > i will try some of the other drivers at weekend - i am ill and > need to lay in my bed > :-(( > > if you have another idea - you are always welcome! > > thanks > mac > > -- > DaMac@irc: #team23.org > mac@deam.org > PGP-ID#: 0x6F28F58E > PGP-Type: DH/DSS | 2048/1024 > -------------------------------------> http://mac.deam.org > > > > > 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
