Don't know if other cards might work also. PnP detects the card on my PII/400 with an Abit BE6 MB. Is there some reason not to enable it on your machine? Do you also have the miibus0 driver enabled? I believe that's required with the rl driver. The relevant lines from my dmesg are: rl0: port 0xd400-0xd4ff mem 0xda000000-0xda0000ff irq 9 at device 11.0 on pci0 rl0: Ethernet address: 00:50:ba:8a:c1:9d miibus0: on rl0 rlphy0: on miibus0 rlphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto Don To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
