I've been running fine with FreeBSD for a while now, but due to relocating the machine, I needed to swap Ethernet cards (from TwistedPair to Thin). Previously, I had a 3Com card that was working perfectly, I yanked that (power off of course), and replaced it with a Novell2000 clone. The boot sequence spews forth and says that it recognizes ed1, and dumps the ethernet address & everything, but when it comes time to kick off the network stuff it says "Network unreachable". I tested the card with the SW that comes with it under DOS, and everything is OK. And FreeBSD seems to like it at inquiry time. Is there something SW/Driver/UNIXish that I have to switch inorder to use the other card? PLEASE don't tell me that I have to re-install with the new card in place! Please email & post any helpful advice.
