Try messing with the link flags. In the 'extra options' try using the combination of: '-link0 link1' OR 'link0 -link1' This tells it to use either the 10BaseT/10Base2 connector. This card works great under FreeBSD, been using them for over 2 years. >something i'd want to put in my kernel config file. > >controller crd0 >device pcic0 at crd? >device pcic1 at crd? You don't want to use these unless you are running a newer release of FreeBSD, and I'm in the process of getting that stuff working much better than before, so maybe by 3.0 it'll be out of Alpha stage.
