I'm trying to setup FreeBSD on a machine. It wouldn't even boot from CD = to install because of a network card error. I bought another network = card (Netgear model FA311) and it seemed to work. At least I was able = to install FreeBSD. Upon further inspection, after installation and = re-boot, I noticed that this card was also getting and error. The = following three lines are what I get: sis0: at device 13.0 on pci0 sis0: couldn't map ports/memory device_probe_and_attach: sis0 attach returned 6 I admit that I am VERY new to the Unix/Linux stuff. I know the card = fails, but why? It's new and from the above three lines I am unable to = find any kind of help to answer the question. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated and I thank you in = advance for any you can give me. Thanks, Jeff Nordgren (Rookie)
