OK, the Dlink 528CT is a PCI ethernet card. If you are feeling lucky you can try just plugging the card into a PCI slot in your FreeBSD box and rebooting. Make sure it's the only ethernet card in the box. If you see an ethernet address in the bootup system messages, BINGO! today is your luck day. If you do not see an ethernet address, sigh heavily (feel a little better?) and now you have 4 choices 1. write your own driver for this card 2. hope Dlink will write a driver for FreeBSD (don't hold your breath here) 3. hope one of the FreeBSD people write a driver (again no holding your breath) 4. buy another ethernet card and forget about using this one. The lesson here is obvious. If you want a driver for this card you are just going to have to write it your self. Look on the bright side; you got this card for free, it will look good on a resume, lots of FreeBSD will be thankful, and women will want to get to know you (well... maybe not, but lots of FreeBSD people will be thankful) ;-) Josef -- Josef Grosch | Another day closer to a | FreeBSD 3.1 jgrosch@MooseRiver.com | Micro$oft free world | UNIX for the masses To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
