This may be a faq, but i didn't find in it the faq. :) After venturing away from the 386/Net/FreeBSD scene for a while (i ran 386bsd-0.1 and NetBSD-0.8 when they first came out....Yoweee) I've got FreeBSD-2.0RELEASE running on my machine. I just got the bindist installed, and it boots fine. The problem is that i can't get the ethernet interface (a 3c509, ep0) to come up. The 3c509 i've got is a combo card (BNC, AUI, and TP connectors). I'm using the TP interface. It is configured in DOS to do so (and just as a reference it works in dos). When i check "ifconfig ep0" it says it's up and running. I've set the router both by hand and by the /etc/defaultrouter file. Still, i can't get my packets over the interface. Is there some flag i need to pass to ifconfig to make it use the TP interface? if so, what's the syntax? Try to edit your /etc/hostname.ep0 file. It should have something like netmask 0xffffff00 link2 in case you're using 10base-10 or thicknet -Serge
