Hi,
I've successfully installed freeBSD on a partitioned hdd on a =
computer with win98, win2k advanced server and freebsd. As i was setting =
up freeBSD i ran into problems.=20
It seems that freebsd isn't detecting my network card at all, i live =
in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and have a Rogers@home cable =
internet connection and an SMC EZ Card 10/100 PCI (smc1211 series) for =
my NIC.=20
I've asked a few individuals and they said to try to look for an =
eth0 or rl0 during bootup (dmesg). I didn't see eth0 but i did see rl0
rl0 =3D <ACCTON MPX 5030/5038 10/100 baseTX> at devide 13.0 on pci0
rl0 =3D couldn't map port
and then when i took a look at pci0
pci0 =3D <unkown card> (vendor =3D 0x1102, dev 0x0002) at 15.0
i've also looked through different sites like Freebsd diary and freebsd =
cheatsheet for solutions to this problem, but i'm convinced freebsd =
isn't detecting my NIC, this is so because they all tell me to edit my =
DHCP settings, and to edit DHCP settings, you need to know what the =
NIC's device name is.=20
An individual advised me to download a driver for my NIC but let's not =
forget i can't connect to the internet with freebsd. =20
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Rey
