I have had the opposite experience with the installation of 3.2-RELEASE (GENERIC kernel) with my 3c905B-TX NIC. After checking that the kernel config included the 3c90X cards, I didn't see xl0 being detected (though the lines flew by quickly before the screen refreshed -- I could have missed something). When I chose to install via FTP, xl0 was missing. This may be related to the problem discussed in a thread on bsdi-users: http://www.nexial.com/cgi-bin/bsdibodyview?h=3&d=69328&q=3c905. Help! I'm thinking either (1) a new generic install kernel will soon be available that remedies my problem or (2) get a different card. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.
