>Description:
Simply, FreeBSD does not recognize Netgear FA310TX and Macronix 98715A serie ethernet cards. if you want to receive the screenshots please inform me. I did not find any information concerning these cards from their vendors' web sites.

Here, in the school, there is a big (almost 1500 clients, there are at most 200 clients because of end of curriculum.) and there is a Windows NT Proxy server 2.0 (193.255.106.4 with real IP, and this machine will get 193.255.106.28 with host name personel.fatih.edu.tr). There is just one RedHat Linux 6 client which is different from other NT stuff and set up by me, it serves Computer Engineering web site (cengunix.fatih.edu.tr), works properly and it has NetGear FA310TX Network Card.

I tried many combinations inside the Network Configuration Menu, which can be reached with booting from setup CDs or Diskettes, however, I could not achieve any solution for that. And this card always conflicts with PC Card Controller device which is located at interrupt 10. The name NetGear FA310TX in your "Supported Hardware" list, however, there is not any compatible device in the list of hardware. 

I would be grateful if you help me about this inconvenience.

Thank you very much for your interest,
Best regards.
Ismail PAZARBASI - Electronic Engineer.
>How-To-Repeat:
since this is a kernel inconvenience, it repeats everytime and fails the network.
