Subject: Installing Netgear FA311TX card

Thanks for all of the suggestions regarding my earlier installation 
difficulties. After yanking both the ethernet and the sound cards, I 
was able to complete installation.

However, now I am trying to install the ethernet card, a Netgear 
FA311 card , without any success. I've tried using the 3rd ed of 
Lehey's The COmplete FreeBSD as a guide.

I've tried to rebuild the kernel with:

device	pn

as the driver for my ethernet card (it was in a table of network 
interfaces in the book).

After running config, it says that 'pn' is an unknown device. I then 
make depend/make/make install the kernel, reboot, go to configure the 
interface ... and it isn't there.

I try to 'sh MAKEDEV pn0' in /dev; same thing. No luck.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

Paul
