To: FreeBSD Subject: 3com 3C590 PCI ethernet card Date: Wed, 17 Jul 96 14:44:00 PDT Message-ID: <31ED5FED@smtpgw.missi.ncsc.mil> Encoding: 11 TEXT X-Mailer: Microsoft Mail V3.0 Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk We did some upgrades to one of our servers and put in a 3Com 3C509 PCI ethernet card. FreeBSD 2.1 installed just beautifully except for one minor problem. It can't find the ethernet card. Is there a trick to getting this to work with this card? Even at boot up when it is looking at the cards on the PCI bus, it doesn't list the card as an option. Thought it might be a bad vard, but a known good card does the exact same thing? Any thoughts? Any help would be appreciated. Todd Paisley tgpaisl@missi.ncsc.mil
