The version of FreeBSD is 4.0 uname -a FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE #0: Mon Mar 200 22:50:22 GMT 2000 root@monster,cdrin,cin:/usr/srcsys/compile/GENERIC i386 When I use the command /stand/sysinstall and select Configure Do a post-install configuration of FreeBSD Select Networking Configure additonal network services Select Interfaces - Configure additonal network interfaces It comes up with Network interface information required I cannot find the ethernet card details on the screen It should have come up with ep0 along with the card details As a result I cannot install the network interface. I want to install the machine on a Lan with IP address. I also find that I cannot use any of the unknown network interfaces such as gif0 etc for this purpose. ( It might be because the network card is not sensed during the installation. ( I used the auto option). Is there a way of installing the network interface on this machine?
