Check out ftp://ftp.cyclades.com/pub/cyclades/linux/cyctest.exe. Boot from a DOS floppy and run it. If it can talk to the card, then you can be more sure there are no hardware problems. Be sure that the port module is plugged into the card properly; if the port module isn't plugged in, the card will not be detected. Double check the cable; one of the cables we got recently looked like it had been driven over by a forklift. I can't think of any real tricks involved in getting FreeBSD to detect it. > I called Cyclade, they said they don't have installation instruction for > FreeBSD, have to look it man pages.

The first two files are actually the same file, just hard linked to one another. The i386 directory comes from the install procedure, since i386 man pages are stored in a seperate directory since they don't apply to other architectures. The last one is the preformatted one; it is created the first time you read the man page so that it doesn't have to format it every time. -- Marc Slemko 1:342/1003@fidonet marcs@alive.ampr.ab.ca marcs@alive.ersys.edmonton.ab.ca
