I As an addition to the handbook and manual pages, you might look up www.freebsddiary.org, it contains a lot of useful topics described in more detail than in the handbook. (http://www.freebsddiary.org/topics.php3#networks is perhaps useful for you, also have a look at the Firewall/Gateway section). > normally check with dmesg if ed0 is available, and see if I can select > it from /stand/sysinstall in networking.

Type `?' for help. > config> di ed0 ^^^^^^ Your problem might be here; ed0 driver is disabled. Load /boot/kernel.conf in your favorite editor and delete the "di ed0" line. Better yet, delete the whole kernel.conf file, since it looks like your custom kernel does not contain the sn0, lnc0 etc. devices looking at the above complaints that those devices are not present. The complaint is not there for ed0, indicating that it is simply disabling the ed0 driver in your kernel. Good luck! Karel.
