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: 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.
