Hello all, I am having a problem installing a SMC 10/100 1211tx pci nic into a Pentium 200mmx (attempting it using FreeBSD 4.3). After I make the floppy disk (kernel.flp and msfroot.flp) and boot up I am presented with Kernel Configuration option. I chose Visual. There are 7 conflicts. Under Networks there are a 7 cards. But none of them are the one I am looking for, the rl0 Realtek 8138, 8139 driver (as I understand it). I have tried installing with the others, but that of course didn't work. I have disabled the pnp os option on the bios, as I read that might create some problems. The nic seems to be working, and I've tried two of them (plus it had linux/slackware on it previously and the nic was working). Now what to try next. Do I need to install and then try to build a custom kernel? Is the problem that the device driver is missing? Should I try and older version of FreeBSD? Besides going out and buying a new nic, what are the recommendations?
