If he is running a GENERIC kernel then there is no need to build a new one. Simply boot "-cv" to get the Visual Config Editor where he can type the new values. I presume there is a need for new values as the default GENERIC kernel would have found the card otherwise. Looking at FreeBSD 3.0's GENERIC kernel it appears ed0 is at 0x280 and IRQ 10 with iomem at 0xd8000. So if one were to configure the card the way FreeBSD defaults then one wouldn't have to reconfigure FreeBSD. Probably have to have the card's DOS config program simply to figure out how the heck the card is currently configured. Of course this presumes the card looks like an NE2000... -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
