Probably ed0/ed1 but I am not sure. Why don't you experiment a bit? Try one of the ways. If that works then everything is fine. If it doesn't work you try another one until you find some that does work. That is often a very useful approach when trying to solve a problem. In this instance the chances of you breaking anything by experimenting should be fairly minimal so you don't need to worry about it. > > > thanks for your help, > oscar > > > >From: Erik Trulsson <ertr1013@student.uu.se> > >To: Oscar Castaneda <oscarcvt@hotmail.com> > >Subject: Re: realtek 8019, supported on fbsd4.3? > >Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2001 00:17:37 +0200 > > > >On Sat, Sep 15, 2001 at 03:47:08PM -0600, Oscar Castaneda wrote: > >> thanks, i now did realize its NE2000 compatible, after booting for > >> installation with the kern & mfsroot floppies i entered configure > >> then networking interfaces and i have two nic's ed1 & ed2 where another > >> doubt troubles me, shouldn't they be called ed0 & ed1?? > > > >Not necessarily. > >For some configurations the cards get named ed1/ed2 instead of ed0/ed1. > >The reasons why appear to be fairly arcane and it probably shouldn't > >happen but it does. :-) > > > >Don't worry about it.
