BTW, I attached a copy of the kernel > config file and the output of dmesg. TIA I've got one of these cards and the relevant bits of my kernel config look the same. The bits of dmesg where its detected should look like: Preloaded elf kernel "kernel" at 0xc0290000. Probing for devices on PCI bus 0: [...] ed1: rev 0x00 int a irq 10 on pci0.20.0 ed1: address 00:48:45:00:89:9d, type NE2000 (16 bit) Probing for devices on PCI bus 1: Probing for PnP devices: Probing for devices on the ISA bus: I notice that in your dmesg output there is _no_ probing for devices on any PCI buses! That is, the non-detection of your network card is a symptom of a separate problem. Note that I've had the card running under both 3.0 and 3.2 (but skipped past 3.1 :). > Copyright (c) 1992-1999 FreeBSD Inc. > Copyright (c) 1982, 1986, 1989, 1991, 1993 > The Regents of the University of California.
