I have been asked to install FreeBSD on a customer's machine, and have run into a problem with the NIC. Here are a few lines extracted from dmesg: --- dc0: at device 15.0 on pci0 dc0: couldn't map port/memory device_probe_and_attach: dc0 attach returned 6 --- I am installing 4.5 RELEASE from CD. The first indication of a problem was that sysinstall did not list the NIC along with other network devices during the installation. Then, once the OS was loaded, I rebooted, and no NIC appears when using ifconfig -a . Does anyone know if this can be fixed, or is it perhaps a dud card? PS: LINT indicates that the dc driver supports Davicom DM9101 and DM9102 cards. I don't know if the DM9102A is different enough to perhaps cause this error. ?!? Thank you. -- Regards, Patrick O'Reilly.     ___        _            __    / _ )__ __ (_)_ __ ___ _/ /____ __   / __/ -_) _) /  ~  ) -_), ,-/ -_) _)  /_/  \__/_//_/_/~/_/\__/ \__/\__/_/     http://www.perimeter.co.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
