Then you need to 'tell' the kernel at startup not only to probe for that card, but also which address/irq to probe for it on. I believe an NE2000 card will be picked up as an ed0/ed1/ed2/etc device. -- Nathan Vidican webmaster@wmptl.com Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
