When you reboot, do you see anything about the device? ie: fxp0: port 0xdc00-0xdc1f mem 0xea000000-0xea0fffff,0xea100000-0xea100fff irq 10 at device 9.0 on pci0 fxp0: Ethernet address 00:a0:c9:e0:32:46 in the boot messages? Does it showup in a "ifconfig -a" ie: fxp0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::2a0:c9ff:fee0:3246%fxp0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 10.0.0.28 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255 ether 00:a0:c9:e0:32:46 media: autoselect (100baseTX ) status: active supported media: autoselect 100baseTX 100baseTX 10baseT/UT AlanC To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
