	I'm trying a net/ftp install of 4.8 on my Thinkpad.  The
	laptop didn't come with a builtin NIC so I bought a 
	Xircom 10/100 card.  (I'm using the IBM UBS to CAT5 connector.)
	The floppy install puts up /stand/sysinstall nicely, but when
	I goto the network sections I eventually see only SLIP or PPP
	as options.  

	Setting up the options screen and setting DHCP to "YES" makes
	no difference.  According to the FreeBSD laptop web pages
	Xircom ought to work.  As far as I can get is wriding up 
	with eithr a slattach graphic or one for ppp.  Since DHCP is
	working and since my cabling is okay, I'm at adead end.

	Suggestions?

	Thanks for any clues!

	gary

	PS: I did try my old 5.2 CD install, but it trapped and died.
