Hi, 3c589 is in the kernel, and it works fine. Perhaps you need to go into full screen kernel configuration mode after booting the install floppies and _disable_ all the existing network drivers. Just because you do not see 3c589 in this list does not mean it isn't there...disable all in the list there and Q to quit, and it should work. >From: "Doug Reynolds" <mav@wastegate.net> >Reply-To: "Doug Reynolds" <mav@wastegate.net> >To: "Brandon Menc" <brm4242@fastmail.fm>, "freebsd-questions@freebsd.org" ><freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> >Subject: Re: install kernel with 3c589 support >Date: Sat, 29 Dec 2001 03:36:34 -0500 > >On Sat, 29 Dec 2001 01:17:06 -0500, Brandon Menc wrote: > > >I want to install FreeBSD over ethernet.
