Filipi-Martin" Reply-To: adrian@virginia.edu To: FreeBSD Questions List Subject: Is an "HP PL LAN Adapter NC/16 TP" usable? Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk HI all, This card says that it is NE2100 compatible on its board. Unfortunately, I am not having any success getting FreeBSD to configure the interface. It finds lnc1 and considers it an option under FTP install, but it fails to initialize the card. When checking out the progress reports on ttyv2, I get 'lnc1: Inisitalisation failed' after the ifconfig line, but then after this it claims the exit status of ifconfig was 0! ifconfig issues no warnings when I run it manually. Any suggestions?
