Hi folks. This may be a faq, but i didn't find in it the faq. :) After venturing away from the 386/Net/FreeBSD scene for a while (i ran 386bsd-0.1 and NetBSD-0.8 when they first came out....Yoweee) I've got FreeBSD-2.0RELEASE running on my machine. I just got the bindist installed, and it boots fine. The problem is that i can't get the ethernet interface (a 3c509, ep0) to come up. The 3c509 i've got is a combo card (BNC, AUI, and TP connectors). I'm using the TP interface. It is configured in DOS to do so (and just as a reference it works in dos). When i check "ifconfig ep0" it says it's up and running. I've set the router both by hand and by the /etc/defaultrouter file. Still, i can't get my packets over the interface. Is there some flag i need to pass to ifconfig to make it use the TP interface? if so, what's the syntax? I was also wondering if it had something to do with the /etc/start_if.ep0 file. The install process crapped out while i was trying to configure the interface so this file wasn't created. What's supposed to be in it? i had to create the /etc/hostname.ep0 and /etc/defaultrouter by hand. They both seem to work. Thanx for any help! ...alex...
