Thanks..bye FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE #0: Mon Nov 8 00:25:16 MST 1999 (yeah I know I'm behind) Nope, the LinkSys (LNE100TX v2.0) cards work fine (mx#) I'm using two of them in my BSD box: Cablemodem NIC: - --------------- mx0: rev 0x25 int a irq 12 on pci0.9.0 mx0: Ethernet address: 00:a0:cc:32:eb:7c mx0: autoneg complete, link status good (half-duplex, 10Mbps) LAN NIC: - -------- mx1: rev 0x25 int a irq 10 on pci0.13.0 mx1: Ethernet address: 00:a0:cc:32:eb:80 mx1: autoneg complete, link status good (full-duplex, 100Mbps) just added the mx0 driver to my kernel config. Also, make sure the pnp0 and the pci0: controller pci0 controller pnp0 device mx0 also make sure you have: pseudo-device ether pseudo-device bpfilter 4 (optional) options INET my setup for my cards in /etc/rc.conf: network_interfaces="mx0 mx1 lo0" ifconfig_mx0="DHCP" (auto-assigned ip#) ifconfig_mx1="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" when all is said and done you should see something like (ifconfig -a): mx0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet x.x.x.x netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast x.x.x.255 ether 00:a0:cc:32:eb:7c media: 10baseT/UTP supported media: autoselect 100baseTX 100baseTX 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP mx1: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:a0:cc:32:eb:80 media: 100baseTX supported media: autoselect 100baseTX 100baseTX 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP hope that helps ya... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5i iQA/AwUBOE2yj3kOgeFubyAgEQLqigCgzX3Chy76GnIVzmCMcg2byYSQA/8AoIK5 CTAxNStdKgbg/DqKC93SXtV4 =VJS1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
