I'm not Jordan, but I'm answering anyway :-) ftp://releng22.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.6-980315-BETA/floppies/boot.flp is the newest one available as I write this message; if it takes time before you use this, try upgrading the date. > 2) I'm open to suggestions for a cheap Plug'n'Pray PCI Ethernet card > that I can pick up locally (CompUSA/Computer City). (PNP is now > supported in stable, yes?) PnP is supported only for a single Ethernet card - the Trust Ethernet Combo, which is an NE2000 clone. I don't think the code has been merged to -stable - I wrote it, and I have been having some problems with that card under -STABLE, so I would really hope not. So far, the PCI version of the card seem to be running OK. From my supplier, the PCI version is $2 more expensive than the PnP version, so it is really a much better buy. Eivind.
