I just yesterday got my cable modem install. Looks really good with jsut the laptop connected to it. Now to get the FreeBSD gateway workign with it. First problem. This will require adding a second ethernet card, this one with a 10baseT port. The installer was nice enough to leave one for me. However he had no documnetion (it's PnP so Windoze needs none). I need to idetify this unit, and figure out how to make it work with FreeBSD> It's a SMC card, abd has a sticker that says 8432T C 2296 on it, and it has ELEC5K-15 etched on the board. I found a refernce to a model 8432 on the SMC web site, but was unable to find a setup program for it. I was hoping to get a setup program that would let me disable PNP on it and configure the IRQ and memory address by hand. Has anyone got this unit working under FreeBSD/ If so how? It's a PCI one, I had the choice of ISA, should I have gone that way? If I have to do PnP, can someone point me in the right direction forthis? I really don;t want to muck up this machien.
