Okay, then there is something wrong with the setup on the card. Have you turned off Plug and Play in your BIOS? Is there a diskette used to configure the card for a specific IRQ and memory address? If the card is configured correctly, it should appear in /stand/sysinstall without a problem, as long as you're running a GENERIC kernel. device rl # RealTek 8129/8139 That's the line that you would need in your kernel for it to be recognized. > Could someone please give me an idea in how to set > this up. Like I mentioned earlier, try turning off Plug and Play, configure the card manually if possible. --- Andy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
