Synopsis: Network card setup problem State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: wpaul State-Changed-When: Fri Oct 15 22:56:58 PDT 1999 State-Changed-Why: This has nothing to do with FreeBSD, per-se. Reboot your machine and go into the BIOS setup menu. Hunt around until you find a setting that says something "Plug and Play OS" and turn it off. If your machine came pre-installed with Lose95 or Lose98, it was probably set at the factory to have the "plug and play OS" setting turned on. What is this does is prevent the BIOS from configuring PCI and ISA plug and Play devices so that the OS can do it instead. Only Lose95 and Lose98 work this way. FreeBSD wants all PCI devices to be configured by the BIOS so that it can detect them and set up drivers for them. Since this is not a software bug, I'm closing this PR. Change the "plug and play OS" setting in your BIOS and boot the system again. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
