Hello, I dot know the correct group I should send this message. Thanks for your help. we are a research centre in communications and for our research we need to use FreeBSD version 2.x on VMWare. For version 2.2.8 everything is working fine the operating system have no problem to be installed and the network behave well no device time out and the operating system find the emulated PCI ADM PCNET II ethernet card. So for FreeBSD 2.2.8 we have the following log for the Lance driver. ... vga0 <Display device> rev 0 on pci 0:15:0 lnc1 <PCNet / PCI Ethernet adapter> rev 16 int a irq 9 on pci 0:16:0 lnc1: PCNet - PCI II address 00:50:56:a6:20:83 Probing for devices on ISA bus : ... In the case of FreeBSD 2.2.7 is not able to find the address of the card and the type of the card but it is just able to find the PCI card. So for FreeBSD 2.2.7 we have the following log for the Lance driver. ... vga0 <Display device> rev 0 on pci 0:15:0 lnc1 <PCNet / PCI Ethernet adapter> rev 16 int a irq 9 on pci 0:16:0 Probing for devices on ISA bus : ... In the case of FreeBSD 2.2.5 is not able to find the correct card. It find a NE2100 card like lnc1: NE2100 (C-LANCE) address 00:50:56:a6:20:83 and when we configure the card we got the device timeout message. We this situation we are not able to get the network card up and running. If someone have a suggestion we will be very happy because we need to install various version of FreeBSD from the version 2.0.5 to 2.2.8 and we were just able to get one version working with the network. In fact, we have install all version of FreeBSD from 3.0 to 4.6.2 and we were able to get them working and send packet on the network in a VMWare environment.
