Since 4.1 has been released (maybe since 4.0?) I've noticed that ep0 is no longer listed as a supported Network device during kernel configuration. Has support for these devices been removed from the standard install kernel? If so, I'm sure there was a good reason, but I have no idea what that reason would be. On the other hand, maybe I'm clueless on this and someone could show me just what to do in order to perform a network-based install using either of these NICs. --Bill McMilleon billmc@internetaddress.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
