Hi,
At looking at the following URL: http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ61.html#61
it does not explicitly mention suport of the SMC EtherEZ network card
[8416], and I find it hard to beleive that FreeBSD 2.2.1 [which is what
I have installed] would not support it, am I missing something ? and if
so which is the correct driver I need to install ?
Below is the text from the above URL:
3.15. What network cards does FreeBSD support?
There is support for the following cards:
``de'' driver
DEC DC21x40 and compatible PCI controllers
(including 21140 100bT cards)

WD/SMC 8003, 8013 and Elite Ultra (8216)
3Com 3c503
HP 27247B and 27252A
And clones of the above
``le'' driver

``ep'' driver
3com 3c509 (Must disable PNP support on card)
``ix'' driver
Intel InterExpress
``cx'' driver
Cronyx/Sigma multiport Sync/Async (Cisco and PPP framing)
``zp'' driver
3Com PCMCIA Etherlink III (aka 3c589)
``fea'' driver
