The RTL 8029 behaves as a NE2000, if the caller in notified that it is at (0x????) address. In my system, it's at 0x6300. I recommend finding the IO address on your machine and notifing netboot of it. -- Kris Kirby UAH Mail UAH CS Home WWW ------------------------------------------- TGIFreeBSD... 'Nuff said.
