Hello, The make and model of the card are Cnet pro200 with Davicom DM9102A chipset. I bought this card because it actually claims to work under FreeBSD. The included floppy has a driver for FreeBSD and the following text: "This driver is being supplied as a supplement to FreeBSD 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4, which is due to be released very soon. Unfortunately, the FreeBSD 3.4 code freeze went into effect before this driver clould be included with the 3.4 distribution. Note that FreeBSD 4.0, which is supposed to be released in January of next year, will include support for the Davicom DM9102 chip using the if_dc driver. You do not need this driver for FreeBSD 4.0. This driver (and the one on FreeBSD 4.0) should work on both FreeBSD/x86 and FreeBSD/alpha." This clearly indicates that it shouldn't be a driver problem after all. Unless the driver changed? Media type seems to be correct. regards /Nikolaj To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
