Date: Wed, 17 Sep 1997 10:21:26 +0200 X-Priority: 3 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.0.1457.3) Content-Type: text/plain Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk If the card have both TP and BNC then the problem might be the "link" option in 'ifconfig', or you might need to configure the card for the port you are using with the setup software for the card When the OS boots it will display what port on the network interface it will be using. Hope this will help..
