Now my output for ifconfig is: ed1: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.115 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 inet6 fe80::240:f4ff:fe1c:1abf%ed1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x7 ether 00:40:f4:1c:1a:bf The NIC address is the one printed on the card. 2) Looking at the source code for FreeBSD 4.5 current, I find that there seems to be a driver for NetGear FA411. For example, grep finds these lines: ./conf/NOTES { PCMCIA_CARD(NETGEAR, FA410TXC, 0), { PCMCIA_CARD(NETGEAR, FA411, 0), ./dev/ed/if_ed_pccard.c /* Dlink chipset used on some Netgear and Dlink PCMCIA cards */ ./dev/ed/if_edreg.h vendor NETGEAR 0x0149 Netgear /* Netgear */ product NETGEAR FA410TXC 0x4530 Netgear FA410TXC product NETGEAR FA411 0x0411 Netgear FA411 ./dev/pccard/pccarddevs #define PCMCIA_VENDOR_NETGEAR 0x0149 /* Netgear */ /* Netgear */ #define PCMCIA_CIS_NETGEAR_FA410TXC { NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL } #define PCMCIA_PRODUCT_NETGEAR_FA410TXC 0x4530 #define PCMCIA_STR_NETGEAR_FA410TXC "Netgear FA410TXC" #define PCMCIA_CIS_NETGEAR_FA411 { NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL } #define PCMCIA_PRODUCT_NETGEAR_FA411 0x0411 #define PCMCIA_STR_NETGEAR_FA411 "Netgear FA411" I'm currently using the stock kernel sources. I'll give your suggestion a shot before trying the current kernel.
