It all started when I accidentally overwrote my FreeBSD manager with another one of a different flavor. Uhhgg! I was running happily with freeBSD 3.4 w/PAO. So I booted up with 4.0 install floppies and reinstalled the FreeBSD Boot Manager. Everything seemed fine, so I thought, until FreeBSD could no longer recognize either one of my ethernet cards. So I figured something got really messed up. So alas I have to reinstall. No biggie. So I downloaded 4.0-release boot floppies yesterday and booted up my dell inspiron 7500 from them. But when I tried to configure the network for ftp download it would not recognize either of my ethernet cards. I am sitting here wondering what the hell happened. I am willing to install either 3.4 or 4.0 but I don't think I can with my ethernet cards not working. Does anybody have any idea whats up with them? My ethernet cards are as follows. 3com 3C589D-TP 3com 3C574-TX Thanks, Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
