Hi

I have just installed FreeBSD 4.4 (i386). Hardware.txt on the cd says that this NIC is supported:
Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC (10/100 mbit)
But when I try to install it via /stand/sysinstall is says:
faith0 <unknown network interface type>
I can set it up and ping localhost, but I can't ping my own IP (only installed IPv4) or others (on your LAN).
Can anyone help me?
