Good Luck...

Should there be another line in dmesg with the card's ethernet address? If this line is not appearing, could this indicate the card is dead and should be replaced? Are there any other places I should be looking for diagnostic messages? In short, how do I fix it? :) > > (Please reply directly as I am not subscribed to the list.) > > Many thanks in advance, > > David James > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
