All I get from the ifconfig is the ability to ping my own IP number but not my router. I can throw a linux boot disk in and setup network with the same values and am able to NFS mount the remote filesystem where the installation lives. I have also tried both 10base5/10base2/10baseT on all these cards and "NONE" of them will work under freebsd. Yet all of them are probed and will run on linux. I do not know how much farther I can go with this. But the only factor I have found is that all the motherboards are Intel with Neptune chipsets P5-90's. I then got brave this afternoon and took the same hardware MINUS motherboard (replaced it with an ASUS PCI/I-P55TP4XE board and guess what all the ISA cards work fine now. I have a feeling that this a problem of the Neptune chipset. This is all the insight I have.... Matthew S. Bailey mbailey@cps.cmich.edu
