I have the same problem with my EtherLink III ISA card on my FreeBSD 2.2.5 before. You can give it a try by doing the following: Boot your system from a DOS floppy and run the 3COM EtherLink setup program. Turn off the Auto media detect and manually set it to BNC. Save the setting and restart the FreeBSD system. > Date: Sat, 30 May 1998 11:35:51 -0400 > From: "Alan M.
