In your kernel config you need the line device ed0 at pci? and rebuild the kernel. When you reboot it should shhow up as ed2 but confirm this. In your /etc/rc.conf you should have an ifconfig_ed2 (assuming it is detected as 2) and once you have that set correctly, just reboot and you should be ready to go. -- Jonathan Fosburgh Geotechnician Snyder Oil Corporation Houston, TX Home Page: http://www.geocities.com/vienna/1498 Manager, FreeBSD Webring: http://www.geocities.com/vienna/1498/computer/freebsdring.html ICQ: 32742908 AIM: Namthorien To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
