The idea is to provide lots of information right away so we don't have to interrogate you later. (We have ways to make you talk, but we're busy.) The most important thing is not to interpret the error/status messages for us. It's important that we see exactly what you see. Don't say "Card is properly recognized and irq is provided automatically," *show* *us* the dmesg output so we can see the kernel probe messages that show the card being detected. Things you need to tell us: - Exactly what kind of card is this. Compaq has sold both ThunderLAN and Intel cards as "Netelligent" devices, so you need to be specific. - What version of FreeBSD are you trying to use? Telling us that you're using kern.flp and mfsroot.flp is nice, but you don't say what directory you got them from. - Don't say things like "card has shown interger link though." First of all, I have no idea what the hell that means. Second, it's much better if you show us what led you to this conclusion so that we have some idea of what's going on. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
