Unfortunetely upon install, freebsd does nto recognize my onboard network card and refuses to the ethernet up upon network configuration. It seems there is no drivers for this card. In network configuration there are options on the types of "ways to connect". the one that says Ethernet has (Unknown driver deivce) next to it. I am assuming this is a known issue and would like to know if you had any clue as to install BSD 5.3 with RealTek 8139D NIC. Ps. Remember this isnt 8139C its an onboard 8139D that comes with the abit NF7-S Mobo. Thanks in advance! -- Regards, Jonathan
