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: 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
