Hi folks. This may be a faq, but i didn't find in it the faq. :)
After venturing away from the 386/Net/FreeBSD scene for a while (i ran
386bsd-0.1 and NetBSD-0.8 when they first came out....Yoweee) I've
got FreeBSD-2.0RELEASE running on my machine. I just got the bindist
installed, and it boots fine. The problem is that i can't get the
ethernet interface (a 3c509, ep0) to come up. The 3c509 i've got is a
combo card (BNC, AUI, and TP connectors). I'm using the TP interface. It
is configured in DOS to do so (and just as a reference it works in dos).
When i check "ifconfig ep0" it says it's up and running. I've set the
router both by hand and by the /etc/defaultrouter file. Still, i can't
get my packets over the interface.
Is there some flag i need to pass to ifconfig to make it use the TP
interface? if so, what's the syntax?
Try to edit your /etc/hostname.ep0 file. It should have something like
<your IP address> netmask 0xffffff00 link2
in case you're using 10base-10 or thicknet
