Hello,

Setting up a LAN behind a DSL Router on a 486 -DX2 Box: BSD 4.2
for network card

     dmesg ==>

          ed0: device timeout
          ed0: promiscuous mode enabled

What is promiscuous mode ?


How does one figure out if a card is actually been seen by the machine. Pinging
to hostname is useless as the packets do not go past "loopback" and needless
to say the machine is invisible to the LAN.

lsdev does not help either.

Thanks.
