I'm not really sure how to set up hardware/drivers of any sort in FreeBSD (I switched from RedHat). When I first install, it has an option to use "Kernel Device Configuration in full-visual mode", and the only way I can think of to get my card to work (a jumpered ISA Kingston KNE2100TX set to 0x300 IRQ 5 -- it worked great in RedHat) is trial and error on drivers. Unfortunately, this will take DAYS since that option is only available at the beginning of the install. I know there HAS to be an easier way...I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks Jeremy R.
