Greetings from OZ...

I am having trouble getting my ethernet interface to work on my small =
network.  My FreeBSD 4.2 machine is running a PPP tun0 interface to the =
net.  It works fine.  But I am now trying to add the internal lan to more =
unix/win machines.  When the machine boots (or when I run ifconfig =
directly) it says interface ed0 does not exist.  I notice that I don't =
have /dev/ed0.  What do I need to mknod this on:  owner, group major/minor =
number?  Or is something else wrong?  I also have several other ethernet =
boards I can try if this card is not good.  I am ready to try a vx0 card =
3c595.  I am using a kernel that I have build that includes the device =
drivers for these ed0 and vx0 boards.  The /etc/rc.conf file has these =
parameters:

hostname=3D"avalon.druidix.com"

firewall_enable=3D"yes"
firewall_type=3D"simple"

nat_enable=3D"no"

network_interfaces=3D"ed0 tun0 lo0"
ifconfig_tun0=3D"inet 216.240.37.24 216.240.37.240 netmask 25.255.255.255"
ifconfig_ed0=3D"inet 216.240.38.210 netmask 255.255.255.248"
ifconfig_lo0=3D"inet 127.0.0.1"

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks in advance,  Chris
