Been there done that ....... many times :) The only way I've ever been able to do this is install only one NIC first, get it working properly, then add the second one. I've never had any NIC installation problems that way .... I have only ever used the better NIC's though (3-com, Intel, SMC) and never one of those el-junko taiwanese generic NE2000 disasters. i am one very short step from just giving up on this install the most current problem - not counting the hours of trying to get anything to work - is getting any ethernet cards to work in any way; i need to have 2 cards to bridge 2 subnets they are in the machine they are 3com i have addresses for both subnets they are pluged in the jacks are live the machine is on unfortunately i have NO eo0 or eo1 or vx0 or vx1 thats about all there is to work with wont mount eo0 or eo1 or vx0 or vx1 so how in the world do you mount an ethernet device???? the networking comands exist in rc.config!!!! (for one of them anyway) where are the devices? i certainly cant find them! and i cant recompile the kernal, inserting them, cause i cant find the kernel source on the location specified in the book!!! i TOLD the install wizard to install all of the /src but apparently it descided not to! anyway - i am 4 more hours into an instilation that is about 12 hours old and STILL CANT FIND AN IP ADDRESS!!! thanks all greg kinney ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
