James, After a couple more glitches (needed to use passive FTP to get past my OpenBSD firewall, etc.) I successfully got FreeBSD installed, X running, and a variety of other successes (HTTP browsing through the OpenBSD firewall worked out of the box). I just wanted to let you know that you have my most sincere gratitude for your direct and courteous response, and have helped make my first FreeBSD experience a joy. Just thought you might like to know.

The Linksys Card is a PCI device and therefore the driver will load up automatically without any initial configuration.

I have read that /dev/pn0 communicates with this hardware device, however when I get to the hardware configuration phase of the installation, that device is not listed. A variaty of other NIC devices are available with their drivers loaded, none of which are installed in the machine. > >I am attempting an FTP install which will be shortlived unless I can activate the Linksys card.
