Hi, I still can't make the card run. This is what i did : 1. i compiled my own kernel MYKERNEL with the following additions device rl0 at isa? port 0xd400 net irq 9 iomem 0xed800000 2. then in the /etc/rc.conf i added rl0 to the list of network_interfaces. i got the port and iomem settings from Win98 what am i doing wrong? thanks, Shailesh Sheoran M.ASc.
