Using the visual configuration setup I noticed that my computer had 8 conflicts. I read some info on my linksys PCMCIA card and it said that it would support the ne2000 card under a *NIX operating system. I deleted all the other drivers that were conflicting except the ne2000. I still had 2 conflicts left. They conflicts were between the ne2000 and the PC-card under the misc. hardware. I change the settings for the ne2000 to 0x320 & 9(I followed an example in FreeBSD book.) After there were no conflicts I saved and exited the visual set-up. The system starts probing my hardware and says that it found a PC-card and asks me If this is what I want use for installation media. I selected yes and the lights on my ethernet adapter lit up and everything seemed connected. After going through the partition menus and software selection menus I chose to install over FTP through a firewall. (I have a firewall becauses I'm behind a linksys DSL router.) The next page appears and doesn't give me the option of using my ethernet card. The options it give me are SLIP, Serial, or PPP. I need to figure out why my ethernet card isn't an option. The lights on my ethernet card show that I am connected to the network. I'm dumbfounded.
