X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL0] Date: Fri, 1 Oct 1993 20:23:49 GMT Lines: 18 I've installed FreeBSD on my 486 successfully. However, device ed0 (refered to in the short README file and the longer INSTALL NOTES) does not exist. I've configured my ethernet card according to what the install notes say to do (ie, IRQ 5, Port 0x280). My card is a 3COM 3503 card. After the install, device /dev/ed0 (nor the /dev/we0, or /dev/ne0) did not exist. I haven't read the FAQ in depth, but I've looked for this question (obviously without any luck). (I only have the binaries, not the source. Would I need to recompile the kernel for FreeBSD to see the card?) Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. -Ed -- These opions are mine, and do not necessarily express those of my employer.
