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.
