I have two machines both running FreeBSD 2.0.0-SNAP950322 at home.  Each
machine has a 3com 3c503 ethernet card, but neither seems to be recognized
when I try to detect /dev/ed0 or /dev/ed1.  I tried looking at the FAQ but
needless to say I didn't find enough help there.  Anyone have a nice 
walkthru/guideline/faq that can help a lost soul?  Also, once I have the
cards recognized, what is the general steps I need to take to get the
machines to talk?  Thanks in advance!
