Hmm, my PCI card was not detected. Could you show me what you put in
the kernel config file to use your PCI Ne2000?
Maybe it is because I have a noname clone. For Linux I needed either
to boot with an ether=0,0xff40,eth0 parameter or apply some special
patch that someone made to have more PCI NE2000 clones to be properly
detected.
Is there a way I can force detection under FreeBSD?
Thanks,
