The 'rl' driver seems to be for cards based on RTL 8129 or 8139. The RTL 8019 (isa) or 8029 (pci) both use the 'ed' driver. (Same as for NE2000.) > supported.

Depends on the card. If it is Plug-and-play you shouldn't need to specify any values at all. Things like IRQ and IO-port should be picked up automatically. Otherwise you will have to find out what values the card uses. This might either be set by jumpers on the card or you might have to run a (usually MS-DOS based) program to set the values for the card. Check the manual for the card for details on how to do that. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
