i am one very short step from just giving up on this install

the most current problem - not counting the hours of trying to get anything 
to work - is getting any ethernet cards to work in any way;

i need to have 2 cards to bridge 2 subnets
they are in the machine
they are 3com
i have addresses for both subnets
they are pluged in
the jacks are live
the machine is on
unfortunately i have NO eo0 or eo1 or vx0 or vx1
thats about all there is to work with
wont mount eo0 or eo1 or vx0 or vx1

so how in the world do you mount an ethernet device????
the networking comands exist in rc.config!!!!
(for one of them anyway)
where are the devices?
i certainly cant find them!

and i cant recompile the kernal, inserting them, cause i cant find the 
kernel source on the location specified in the book!!!
i TOLD the install wizard to install all of the /src
but apparently it descided not to!

anyway - i am 4 more hours into an instilation that is about 12 hours old 
and STILL CANT FIND AN IP ADDRESS!!!

thanks all

greg kinney
