Hi, I installed FreeBSD 6.2 on a linux box (complete overwrite). The sysinstall utility did not recognize my Ethernet interface at all. Running "pciconf -l -v " after the install gave the following for the Ethernet interface: none4@pci2:0:0:... Vendor =3D Broadcom Class =3D network Subclass =3D Ethernet Here is the output of "uname -a" FreeBSD sethur-bsd.juniper.net 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #0: <time stamp> root@dessler.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP i386 I installed from a CD that a colleague had bought. Also, the admin guide that came with the CD says bridging is not enabled by default and the kernel needs to be recompiled with the bridging option enabled. Is this the reason why the Ethernet driver was not installed? I will appreciate your help on how to install the Ethernet driver. Thanks. Regards, Sethu.
