I've booted from the install floppies and I'm to the point where I FTP to a server to download everything. I'm trying to configure networking. However, my ethernet interface is not visible. ifconfig shows me lo0, loopback, and sl0 and sl1, which I assume are serial devices. There is no ed0, ed1, etc. For my card, an SMC/WD 8003, the install document says to go with IRQ 2, 0x280, 0xD0000, but this configuration doesn't get me any further. I hope I don't have to install from floppies and recompile the kernel. That would defeat the purpose of installing via FTP in the first place. I've been doing some asking around, and it seems the 8003 is a perfectly common card to have, so SOMEONE has to have had some success with it and NetBSD. Any advice? Thanks in advance. -- Robert Kooima kooima@cs.uiowa.edu
