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) t= he=20 ed0 device in the kernel, then later in the install it should ask you if = you=20 want to install any other network devices. If your card is installed prop= erly=20 and the system recognizes it, it should be listed there. Select that devi= ce=20 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 message
