Hi there.
First off I would like to thank you for your initial help. I followed your
instructions but I couldn't get them to work. I'll will outline every thing
that I have done so far and all that I can on my NIC.
I have configured a custom kernel and in the kernel source I added the line:
device ed0 at pci? #is this the correct place for this line? Do I need
#to put it in /boot/kernel.conf ?
I also disabled all ISA NIC configurations that were there.
in my /boot/kernel.conf there is a line that reads:
en ed0
Here are the entries in my /etc/rc.conf file:
ifconfig_interface="inet ip.address.here netmask 255.255.255.0"
defaultrouter="gateways.ip.address" #of course all these fields have their
network_interfaces="interface ed1" #correct entries :)
hostname="myhost.mydomain.org"
When I boot the machine here is what I get on the ethernet card:
Probing PCI Bus 0:
ed1:<NE2000 Ethernet (RealTek 8029)> rev 0x00 int a irq 255 on pci0.11.0
Then the rest of the boot-up...
Then I get an error when ifconfig tries to find the card:
ifconfig: interface ed1 does not exist.
and of course the routing and the rest of the inet stuff fails.
I have tried to use ed0, ed1, and ed2 but have recieved the same result
from all three. If you have any ideas I would like to hear them. And once
again thank-you for helping me earlier.
Chris.
