Try dmesg | grep ed0 to see if FreeBSD found the ed0 interface on boot. Or try dmesg | grep address to see if it found some other ethernet interface. There is no device node in /dev for any ethernet card, so don't expect to find it (and you don't need to create it). You might also want to check irq's with dmesg | grep irq or vmstat -i to see what irq's are in use; you may have an irq conflict with that card or a memory address conflict. You can change the irq and memory address FreeBSD will look for, for a particular driver like ed0, with UserConfig on boot (boot /kernel -cv).

My FreeBSD 4.2 machine is running a PPP tun0 interface to the net. It works fine. But I am now trying to add the internal lan to more unix/win machines. When the machine boots (or when I run ifconfig directly) it says interface ed0 does not exist. I notice that I don't have /dev/ed0. What do I need to mknod this on: owner, group major/minor number? Or is something else wrong? I also have several other ethernet boards I can try if this card is not good. I am ready to try a vx0 card 3c595. I am using a kernel that I have build that includes the device drivers for these ed0 and vx0 boards.
