the instructions seem to be clear enough but the problem is is that I
don't have any network connection so I can't install ports and packages.
You shouldn't need to download any packages, drivers should be with the
source code which you have on the install cds.
If anyone has any
meaningful assistance in getting the wireless or the wired ethernet
working please assist.
Well: output from dmesg would be really usefull, because then we can see
what the kernel identifies. Also, just output of ifconfig will give you
a list of found interfaces and their current configuration.
If the driver is in the kernel then the nic will appear in dmesg. Then
all you have to do is:
ifconfig_<interface> <ip>/<mask>
For wireless it may be more complicated because you also need to set
SSID etc.
I'm using FreeBSD 6.0 i386. I downloaded the ISO images last week. I
would love to recompile the kernel so that neither works.
Most nic's drivers are in the GENERIC kernel, but if not you can load
the needed modules, for example:
kldload if_iwi
