In a windows system a pci card can share it's irq. In FBSD pci cards can not share irq's. Check pc bios irq hardware summary display before FBSD starts to boot to verify no irq conflicts. Move nic card to different slot other than first or last slot. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Beech Rintoul Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 2:46 AM To: i hate microsoft a whole lot; questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Win2k dual boot and ethernet card On Tuesday 05 February 2002 01:31 pm, (snip) > My network card also doesn't work, ifconfig says the status is active and > the link light is on and it worked when I had only WIn2k on the box.

Disable PNP in your machine's bios. Some NIC's have problems with it.
