Well I finally got the NIC installed but I can't seem to connect.
dmesg output
al0: <ADMtek AN985 10/100BaseTX> rev 0x11 int a irq 17 on pci0.13.0
al0: Ethernet address: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
al0: autoneg complete, link status good (full-duplex, 100Mbps)
in rc.conf
ifconfig_al0"DHCP"
I also have bpf enabled in the kernel. This is pretty much all you
need according to the handbook online.
ifconfig -a
al0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 255.255.255.255
ether ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
media: 100baseTX <full-duplex>

<half-dupl
ex> 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP
<half-duplex>
I'm going to assume that the inet shouldn't be 0.0.0.0, and the
ether address should also be something else. I've never had a high speed
connection before so I don't know much about setting one up. Any glaring
errors here?
