They way to check is at the main menu, hit scroll lock, then arrow up to the PCI device probes. If there's a device of type ethernet or network with no driver assigned, you have a new card and are SOL. Try to get an older card if possible. If you can still get the Kingston KNE100TX cards are 21140 based. A driver is in development for the new chipset. It should have a 2.2 version available. Of course you have to install first :) Doug White Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | www.freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
