Ok, I've had this problem too -- I was at the ISOC Workshops in Geneva, and we wanted to install FreeBSD on the machines we had there (P200 HP Vectra ?L) -- the cards available were all 3c905, and a few spare Realtek chipset-based PCI ed's. FreeBSD 2.2.6 _with this machine_ has the exact same symptom: - probe find the card (as ed1) - ifconfig sees _no_ ed1. What bugs me is the _same_ card on another 2.2.6, this one ASUS TX-97 based, works fine. I even copied and pasted the relevant lines from the kernel config file... Could it be a PCI chipset bogosity ? -- -[ Philippe Regnauld / sysadmin / regnauld@deepo.prosa.dk / +55.4N +11.3E ]- The Internet is busy. Please try again later.
