[-- Attachment #1 --] I have an two old 486 based machines, two ethernet cards and am trying to build a router/gateway. Both the NICs are 3Com 3C509 Etherlink III cards. One, the newer one works fine with FreeBSD, recognised etc and happily runs away with no help. The other - 3Com Etherlink III 3C509 Assy 8362-11 Rev B does not work at all with FBSD but is OK with Win95. Is the older card simply not supported? It uses a transciever LANart Model ETT1101 Dip 123 are up 4 is down (default setting) would this be a problem? If I can't use the older card can I install a second NIC the same as the newer one and have FBSD recognise the second card imediately as ed1? If not am I better off going for a second NIC from a different manufacturer and using a different driver? Thanks in advance, Mik [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2014.210" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have an two old 486 based machines, two ethernet cards and am trying to build a router/gateway.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Both the NICs are 3Com 3C509 Etherlink III cards.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One, the newer one works fine with FreeBSD, recognised etc and happily runs away with no help.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The other - 3Com Etherlink III 3C509 Assy 8362-11 Rev B does not work at all with FBSD but is OK with Win95.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is the older card simply not supported?
