I selected the ed0 NIC from sysinstall because I wasn't sure what I was supposed to use for my card (Kingston KNE100TX - dc(4)). When I got to the configuration screen, there was no Ethernet card listed. I am confused on what to do next. What I'm haring is that I have to install miibus, then I have to edit /etc/rc.conf. Do I have that right? Thanks again, Thomas Connolly -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Kevin D.
