Right now i just have the generic kernel loaded i tryed dhclient ed1 and just get kernel: ed1: device timeout. Anyway would love to hear your config as this is the most frustrating problem I have encountered while using fbsd and just want to find the solution. thanks -paul > ___________________________________________________ > > > I've got a rather frustrating problem if anyone can help me it would be = > > greatly appreciated I've tryed 3 pcmcia cards on my i8k all 3 of them = > > give me device timeouts (netgear fa410tx, smc 8040, and a linksys card) = > > all of which are on the hardware compat list except the smc card which i = > > read somewhere is supported so i gave it a try.
