First of all,thank you all for your time! In fact,the network card is NE2000,and the situation occured due to that I pressed ctrl-alt-delet keys when the FreeBSD upgrade is in progress,(The habit of pressing ctrl-alt-delete is due to the long time use of MS-windows,you konw,MS-Windows halts very often! ) and the output of "ifconfig -a "is as the following: ____________________________________________ lp0: flags=8810<POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 ppp0: flags=8010<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 sl0: flags=c010<POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST> mtu 552 faith0: flags=8041<UP,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 143.129.131.7 netmask 0xffffff00 inet6 fe80::a09f:59e1:68e7:baa%faith0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 ____________________________________________ As you can see,the ed0 interface didn't appear on this! and when I booted from the kernel.GENERIC,I still cannot use the network. Thank you!
