After install, you should rebuild new kernel to 2.2.7 2.2.7 announced that they support TLAN Network adapter for Compaq, But I can NOT found it in the source tree. The kernel will NOT work with the Comapq Network Adapter, u may get if_tl.c and if_tlreg.h from: http://freebsd.org/~wpaul modify /usr/src/sys/conf/file add: pci/if_tl.c optional tl device-driver and add: device tl0 in your kernel config file.
