IRQ 10 is the > NIC. IRQ 12, strangely enough, looks like my mouse (plugged into > serial port). That stuff in visual config is all ISA cards, IIRC. Unless someone corrects me, don't worry about that too much. As long as the install gets going, none of that visual user config stuff is "set in stone." You might try looking at the website under "supported configurations" to see if your card is listed. It is possbile that your card is supported by the system but not in the GENERIC kernel that is on the boot floppy. Since you have a CDROM, don't worry about the network hardware config until you get the OS installed. Once you get the OS installed, you might be able to get the device support you need by building a custom kernel. (Mind you these are just things to think about. I did not check to see if your card is supported.) Thank you, Jason C. Wells To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
