I a using FreeBSD 3.2 Release CD to install.
My system setting:
CPU: Intel P166 non-MMX
MB: AOpen AP 5C/p /w 256kb L2 module PB cache
RAM: 64mb (4 x 16mb EDO 72pin)
CD-Rom: Poineer 12X IDE
HD: Maxtor 1036mb IDE (from P-75 era)
video: Matrox Millennium 4mb Wram
NICs: CNet 650E ISA PnP 10mb Base-T & LinkSys LAN16 ISA Non-PnP 10mb Base-T,
Both are NE2000 compatable.
Note:
LinkSys Lan16 works find under Linux, but CNET doesn't. Linux can probe it.
During the boos up, I saw nothing related to NIC. (I use Linux. I believe
there should have someting like NE2000 during FreeBSD's boot).
When I type "ifconfig -a" under root. Nothing relate to NIC shows up. It
does not have
ed0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
ether 01:02:03:04:05:06
show up.
from "http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ppp/ppp9.html#9"
I follow "3.2.1. Configuring your Ethernet Interface" to edit my
"/etc/rc.conf".
"About 20 lines from the top of /etc/rc.conf"
The first I noticed is that my "/etc/rc.conf" only has 5~6 lines, it does
not have 20 lines.
Anyway, I follow the line and edit it. After I finished editing and reboot
the system. I can ping localhost @ 127.0.0.1, but I was unable to ping "the
host name".
So, how can I install the NIC or driver module under FreeBSD, so it can ping
to my Win98 system.
Extra:
Is there any information on FreeBSD connect Internet thought Cable modem?
Best Regard.
