Our PC lab at the Unversity has the latest and greatest 3COM ethernet
cards availble and installed.  My question(s)?  What /dev should I be
using when I "configure" my system?  What was FreeBSD 1.0 distributed
with? 

I searched the FAQ and came up with this:
	
--  Ethernet drivers of various sorts and the particular configuration 
--  information they require.  For most installations, only one of
--  these devices would normally be defined.

device we0 at isa? port 0x280 net irq 2 iomem 0xd0000 iosiz 8192
                   vector weintr

device ne0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 2 vector neintr

device ec0 at isa? port 0x250 net irq 2 iomem 0xd8000 iosiz 8192
                   vector ecintr 

device is0 at isa? port 0x280 net irq 10 drq 7 vector isintr

What does all this mean?


	Thanks,
