Its a p75 and seems to match all the configurations required to set for freebsd. I am having one problem tho, I have 2 ethernet cards, an Intel EthernetExpress pro 10 and a D-link 220. In the supported list, the intel card comes up as supported, however when i boot from the latest snap floppy, it can't find it. Is there an appropriate driver i need to have for it to recognize it? I tried using the stable boot floppy and the thing crashed as it was uncompressing the kernal. (I do have an installation/setup disk for the card, maybe it has to be preconfigured, I don't know). With the d-link card, it isn't supported in the list, however i set the card up for nec2000 emulation. When booting up from the stable floppy, it recognizes it as ed1, however when any network attempts are made, the card times out. There is a sound blaster card in the machine, could it be possibly conflicting? I have tried messing with the interupts but nothing seems to be working. Anyhow if someone has run into this problem before, or possible might know a solution, it would be greatly appreciated. Youth Internship Program, Holland College
