Hi folks, I'm trying to install FreeBSD on on a Pentium P133 PC and have two questions regarding the mouse and a networking issue. 1.First the mouse. I have a Microsoft Defender mouse (PS/2) for which I already enabled the approriate driver in the kernel but the mouse is still inactive. Is there here any further configuration that I have to do somewhere on my system to enable the mouse or do I have to change the driver for the mouse (I only found one driver for PS/2 mouse)? 2.Now the networking question. My PC is connected to a Ethernet network and I have a 3Com 3c900 Etherlink XL PCI card installed on my computer. I choose the following parameters for the network in the kernel: device de0 device fxp0 device vx0 options INET pseudo_device ppp 1 pseudo_device ether pseudo_device loop After booting I get the following output : vx0 <3COM 3c900 Etherlink XL PCI> rev0 int a irq 9 on pci0:10 but I still can't connect to other hosts on the network and vis versa. Since I don't see the name of my network card on the FreeBSD list, is it possible that I'm using the wrong one or is it only a question of driver choice or is there much more work to do besides what I did? Thanks very much in advance and please excuse my novice questions (I'm new with this). Sami. PS. Please e-mail directely to this address. Thanks
