Everything seemed to go fine : untill I began installing my ethernet card (Allied Telesis AT1700).

Does : this mean FreeBSD does not support my card? Should I enter something other : than ed0? Any help greatly appreciated, I'm having the same problem with my card (3c509). The problem is that your card is set up at an different IO base than where the kernel is looking for it. Type 'dmesg'. I'm sure you'll notice that ed0 and ed1 are not found. Your options: (easy way) reset the jumpers on you card for IO base 0x280, or (hard way) recompile to kernel to look for the card in the right place. My problem with the 3c509 is that there ARE NO JUMPERS. It's all done thru software and, even if I could find the software, I really don't want to rip freebsd out and reinstall DOS. Jack Valko
