I recently acquired an old HP Kayak and decided to put FreeBSD on it. The installation appears to be fine, with one little problem - the network card doesn't work. (I don't actually know what kind of card it is, as I haven't opened the case on the machine yet.) The card itself is ok - I can use it just fine with a Knoppix disk. The machine is on a LAN, plugged into an old 10Mb hub. It appears to be recognized by the FreeBSD kernel (I tried a 4.9 install and a 5.3 install, because I have the disks at hand - both installs gave identical results): the relevant dmesg output is: pcn0: <AMD PCNet/PCI 10/100BaseTX> port 0xbcc0-0xbcdf mem 0xfedfcc00-0xfedfcc1f irq 11 at device 19.0 on pci0 pcn0: Ethernet address: 00:66:b0:4a:bc:1c miibus0: <MII bus> on pcn0 lxtphy0: <LXT970 10/100 media interface> on miibus0 lxtphy0:100baseFX, 100baseFX-FDX, 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto ifconfig: pcn0: flags=8843<UP,BRODADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.10 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 inet6 fe80::260:b0ff:fea4:bc1c%pcn0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:66:b0:4a:bc:1c media: Ethernet autoselect (10baseT/UTP) status: active the machine can ping itself at 192.168.1.10. It can't ping the defaultrouter (192.168.1.1) set in rc.conf, or anything else on the local network. I'm at the end of my limited networking experience. Any assistance in getting the machine talking to the rest of the network is appreciated. (As an aside - how do I get a display of the current routing table?) -- David Fleck david.fleck@mchsi.com
