what you need to do is first check the hardware compatability list (dont remember the url, something off www.freebsd.org).. thats probly your best bet, but *always* check the chipset of your card and then see if thats supported. for example, i have some generic no-name pci NIC but it has a DEC 21140 chipset, which is supported, by the 'de' driver.. another good thing to do is check the mailing list archives at freebsd.org | search ......... if you dont find something w/ those attempts then you're probably out of luck for now, but one thing i wouldnt do is just use a generic/bootdisk kernel to auto-detect your card.... i wouldnt rely on that method, rather. good luck mike reeh michaelr@ss454.dyn.ml.org On Mon, 31 Aug 1998, Edy Lou wrote: > Hi, > I have FreeBSD 2.2.6 that I purchased from Walnut Creek CDROM. > I have problem to setup ethernet card: > LinkSys EtherFast 10/100 LAN Card (PCI BUS). > > When probing hardware, the kernel knows there is an Ethernet card at PCI > bus, but it couldn't find the driver. > > I tried to find it in the book COMPLETE FREEBSD, but I can't find > anything that can help me setup this ethernet card. > > Would you please advise me what should I do? > Thanks in advance for your help. > > Best regars, > Edy Lou > > ______________________________________________________ > Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
