Maybee you need a # touch /reconfigure # init 6 here to regenerate the /etc/path_to_inst list of devices Check /etc/patch_to_inst before and after and verify that it has changed, and that the BGE is visible at this point verify that /dev/bge0 exists in the device tree. when it does you sholud be able to do # ifconfig bge0 plumb 192.168.0.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 up which is the manual way to get the lan working . it eliminates the need for a working DCHP set up, to test that the NIC card actually plays ball. >then run sys-unconfig, re-filled > in hostname and etc questions.
