Hello, I just did the unthinkable and purchased a Compaq 5868 :-) I was using an older (~10-30-99) snapshot of stable. That snaptshot worked fine on my older PII-333. The problem I am having is that the de0 interface will not come up. I have manually tried to bring it up with ifconfig de0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up, but the network is still unresponsive. Samething happens with the most recent current snapshot. To elaborate, I simply installed the OS and chose the options to use de0 from sysinstall. The proper entries were placed in /etc/rc.conf. For some reason, it works fine on my old hardware, but the identical options chosen on my new hardware (same NIC from the old box) and it doesn't work. I have a feeling it has to do with the way the hardware is probed and the device is taken down (although it still shows with the proper config under ifconfig -l or -A). So ... my current hardware configuration is ... AMD Athlon (K7) 600MHz Motherboard uses AMD751 chipset (compaq or AMD board?) with 200MHz FSB 128MB SDRAM100 Asante 10baseT PCI card (sorry, I don't have specs handy - but it works with de0 when placed in my old PC - and it works with both tulip and another modules under linux) FWIW - the card works just fine on this computer using Linux and Win98, so I am sure that this is FreeBSD related and not hardware related (directly anyway) problem. I can get more particulars on the NIC later if necessary. Tom Veldhouse veldy@visi.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
