I had trouble getting this card to work too. Here's what I figured out: 1. You must run the config program on the floppy and it has to agree with the config under FreeBSD. Not doing this kept it from working. 2. I too find that it only works with 10baseT. The 10base2 adapter doesn't work under FreeBSD. It works just fine under the DOS ODI driver and under Windows 95. -- Nick Sayer <nsayer@quack.kfu.com> | "You see it. You hear it.
