I installed Free BSD on an I386 computer with a 3Com 3C509B, however it has
proven to be too slow. I would like to replace it with a
LinkSys EtherFast LNE100TX, that I see is in the docs. as supported
hardware. When I go to add the adapter with "/stand/sysinstall", I do not
see any options other than the 3Com card, all other options are listed as
unknown. I am guessing that I will need to activate or install the proper
driver for the LinkSys EtherFast LNE100TX. If so how & where might I find
said driver.

Installed Version 4.0 RELEASE  from Walnut Creek Book & CDROM set.

Thank you,
