You should use the ed device below. I copied this directly from the LINT file. Edit your kernel config file in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/YOUR_CONFIG_FILE and put a # pound sign infront of every NIC except ed. Recompile and install your kernel. Unless you have some freaky revision that isnt supported this should do the trick. # ed: Western Digital and SMC 80xx; Novell NE1000 and NE2000; 3Com 3C503 Fredrik Carlen wrote: > > I have a set of old NICs (more preciely two), which I got for free when a pal of > mine scrapped his 486.
