We are having trouble setting up FreeBSD with the network. The computer will not connect to the Internet (pinging itself will not work). We have installed FreeBSD successfully on other computers in the laboratory. The computer with which we are having difficulties is a Dell Dimension XPS P133 with 32MB RAM. The network adapter is a 3Com Etherlink III ISA (3C509b-Combo). I noticed that the 3C509 was labelled as "buggy" in your documentation. Has there been a fix for this? We would appreciate any help you can give. Thank you very much. Michael Lin
