Hope your card's diagnostic > program has this test. the chances are zero - none that your card will work in normal operation if it can't even pass a loopback test. you've got to solve that on the dos box before you will get any of this to work. do what you need to do to get that to work. also, remember that freebsd drivers rarely (never?) handle auto-media sensing. so get the utility and set it to bnc or use the ifconfig command someone mentioned in one of the other messages posted on this list. that looks pretty nifty if it works, actually, i have use for it myself. a To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
