Which should I select > I can answer this, I just installed 4.6 with this exact card. :) What I did was to leave (and you may not need to, but it is what I did) the ed0 device in the kernel, then later in the install it should ask you if you want to install any other network devices. If your card is installed properly and the system recognizes it, it should be listed there. Select that device and continue with the install. I'm sorry, to much of a novice to answer your second question. :( Hope this works out for you, Tim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the messagehelp
