ISA? PCI? If PCI then you shouldn't have any trouble. FreeBSD will recognize it fine. If your network card is ISA then you have to tell to the kernel about your card. To do so on boot prompt type 'boot -c' and then issue a 'ls' command. You'll see list of devices (disabled, or enabled). See if your card is listed there. For device name of your card look up at hardware compatibility section of FreeBSD related resources. Most popular ISA network card is NE2000, device name of which is ed0. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
