Yes! The ifconfig tool can only work with properly detected interfaces, which means that if you can see your card with "ifconfig -l", the hardware is probably working well. > I was not able to ping tho'.But want to know if atleast the attach has > happened successfully tho not the transmit/receive? I guess it has. What type of problem do you get when you ping? If you receive "No route to host", maybe you need to add a default route with: % route add default your.gateways.ip.addr as ifconfig does not do this for you. Also, maybe you need to add a netmask to the ifconfig command? good luck, w. -- Walter Hop <walter@binity.com> | +31 6 24452020 | PGP keyid 0x84813998 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
