You don't have a working device of this sort. There are a number of possibilities. Maybe you don't have such a card, maybe you don't have it configured into the kernel, maybe it's disabled, maybe the device itself is not configured. I can't tell from here. The handbook sections on networking might be of help, depending on how far you'd gotten previously. > Also, how do I determine the current setting of natd_interface is I am > running bash? *Your* shell is irrelevant. natd_interface is only defined in terms of the startup scripts, which are executed by /bin/sh. You can change the setting of natd_interface in your rc.conf and reboot, if you really want to know what the value was actually executed as, but setting the *variable* has no meaning after rc.network is executed at startup. [Actually, I suspect I'm misunderstanding the question, but I'm taking my best guess at what you really need to know.] Good luck.
