Subject: 3Com509B-Combo ethernet card

When I try to do an FTP install, the installer waits for a minute
or two while it says "Logging in as FTP" and then gives up, saying
it can't make the connection.

I think either the ethernet connection my institution provided me with
is bad, or freeBSD doesn't actually support this card, which I suppose
could be a little different from the 3C509.

Has anyone used the 3Com509B-Combo with success (or lack thereof)?


Thanks for any help.
