It's been opened up and had a hard drive added, and FreeBSD 4.5 installed. I've been trying to get this on the Internet by attaching a Linksys USB Ethernet adapter - it's a supported model, and it shows up in dmesg as aue0. I've added it in rc.conf to get a static IP, as this machine is in my internal network. Attaching the Linksys USB device, before or after boot, results in a repeating console message, "aue0: MII read timed out". This starts on boot right after the usbd daemon starts. My questions for the list are: 1: Does anyone know a reason/fix for this? 2: Failing that, where can I look for more info? Please cc: my email address with any replies.
