Please Help me set up FreeBSD 4.0 to use 3COM 509 Ethernet Card I can not get my little FreeBSD system to talk (or even ping) the other UNIX machines on our network (SCO unix running TCP/IP). And they can not ping me. Do I need a entry in /dev for ep0? If so, what type (b/c) and major and minor? System is a 386 with 8 meg RAM and 210 meg IDE drive. 20 meg DOS partition, rest for FreeBSD. Ethernet Card is a 509 with a single TP jack (No BNC or AUI). When booted under DOS and using James River ICETCP the 509 works just fine. While booting FreeBSD the 509 is recognized as ep0. However, the message looks something like (aui/tp)(*UTP*). Does this mean it sees my card okay, or that it is confused and can not recognize a card with just a TP jack? Any light you can shed would be much appreciated. Tom Stevelt
