The SiS 900 is supposedly supported by the 'sis' driver, which seems to be in the generic kernel config. The 'miibus' driver knows about a RealTek PHY8201L PHY, which may or may not be the same one you have there. It seems like this combination *should* work, but maybe this is a strange configuration that the sis driver can't cope with. Is there any chance you can get the so-called experts at your ISP to boot FreeBSD on this box again and give you some more information on what's actually going wrong? ie, commands they're trying, error messages they're getting, etc. Cheers, Scott -- =========================================================================== Scott Mitchell | PGP Key ID | "Eagles may soar, but weasels Cambridge, England | 0x54B171B9 | don't get sucked into jet engines" scott at fishballoon.org | 0xAA775B8B | -- Anon
