hi ... i'm having problems hooking up my freebsd and linux and the problem seems to be with my smc8432, dec 21041 card. i am able to hookup my win95(same computer as freebsd) and linux without any problems. Well after looking up through my files (/etc/syconfig, /etc/host.conf, /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf) and asking for help in #freebsd irc channels, I was told there was nothing wrong with them. However, i'm told by someone who has a same dec 21041 smc card as me , that when it boots up, it's supposed to show which network cable media is being initialised or used. This is not the case for me. All that appears are the following 2 lines : de0: <Digital DC21041 Ethernet> rev 17 int a irq 9 on pci0:0 de0: DC21041 [10MB/s] pass 1.1 Ethernet address 00:00:c0:f3:f5:d5 my ifconfig de0 looks like this: de0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST? mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:00:c0:f3:f5:d5 my netstat -nr looks like this: Destinations Gateway Flags Ref Use Netif Expire default 192.168.1.1 UGSc 2 0 de0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 0 lo0 192.168.1 link#1 UC 0 0 192.168.1.1 link#1 UHLW 3 0
