I was not able to use FreeBSD as a server though because it would not recognize the Ethernet card. The Ethernet card is a Kingston NE2000 compatible PNP ISA card. As far as I was able to figure out it was the PNP aspect of it that gave me problems. I have been looking at ISA Ethernet cards and they all seem to be PNP. Will FreeBSD now recognize PNP cards or do I need to find a non PNP NIC for it to work? If so could anyone suggest where I could find an ISA Ethernet card that will work in FreeBSD that isn't too expensive? I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you.
