Is there any reason why you're not letting it autodetect (which is what it does by default, or with media autoselect). Make sure it's plugged in, make sure the link light is lit. Try to ping somebody on the network (or run tcpdump on the interface). You can't just sit there and look at it: you have to experiment. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager, Master of Unix-Fu Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ============================================================================= "It is not I who am crazy; it is I who am mad!" - Ren Hoek, "Space Madness" ============================================================================= To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
