I am having trouble with release 4.0, i386, setting up my Netgear
FA311/FA312 network
card.  I have determined that I need the sis(4) driver but 'am having
trouble connecting
with it thru sysinstall or any other means that i am aware of.  When I do
either MAKEDEV sis0
or MAKEDEV local sis0 I get "sis0 - no such device name".
Where did I go wrong?  And how do I fix it?  My suspicion is that during
installation I collapsed
all networking to get rid of conflicts and as a result eliminated the SIS
900/7016 capability.
Help, newbie,
Garret
