I'm not sure what Tim was talking about... as far as i know you had it right... define the nic in the kernel, compile it, and reboot... then insert the ip for it in rc.conf... LOL unless the've changed it radically since 4.1.1-release. :) Swen At 01:09 PM 11/9/00, Drew Tomlinson wrote: >I've installed it and rebooted but didn't see any reference to ed1 in the >dmesg, just ed0.
