I know the input ranges and the IRQ...but now what? When I do -c in the kernel configuration...on all of the Ethernet cards it asks for a port address (0x1-0x200)..know what is that? The I/O addresses are four digits..so what do I place here? Do I even need to place something here? Do I need to build a custom kernel and if I do, what line should I place in it? (The card is GENERIC so I know that it should work with most of the types) I've had FreeBSD for over a month and haven't gotten it working! Helpme.. A response would be oh so oh so oh so much appreciated! Thank you! Dave Skynet1@Cris.com (ps. I read the manuals and it didn't help me out :(
