How do I install kernel >support for my NIC? It appears they are running out of space in the install kernel--there's only so much you can cram onto a floppy disk!

If you need help doing a source upgrade, see my cheat sheet: http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/sheet.cgi?3-4upgrade --Dan -- Dan O'Connor On Matters of Most Grave Concern http://www.mostgraveconcern.com FreeBSD Cheat Sheets http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
