>Organization:
>Environment:
have not been able to install at this time
>Description:
Kernel recognizes the 3com 3xp processor is there, but when I go to install, it won't find my dhcp server, nor if I assign the IP manually will the installer see ftp.freebsd.org. Tested connection on the same network segment with another pc, worked. Tested the cable and port on the hub with another pc, they worked. I remember when the support for these cards first came out there was a bit of an issue with getting them to work properly. I think a similar issue might be at play here.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try the boot only ISO burned to a cd and then install on a new system with a 3com 3xp network card
