A RT8039 is not mentioned in the release hardware notes. Which network card from DEC? Which type of NE? Are thos ISA or PCI cards?

If I remember correctly FreeBSD 4.5 shipped with XFree 3.x - there was no support in XFree 3.x or the i810. > > Both E-Machine PC's!

XFree is not FreeBSD else the network drivers. so FreeBSD _is_ loaded "correct". Please provide us with more informations like a dmesg-output Thanks Marc PS: This is a mailinglist and answer are given by volunteers. FreeBSD is not a company like RedHat or Mandrake.
