Driver question
I hope I sent this question to the good posting. I work in a research environnement and one of my project was to install different kinds of OS's for testing. I am using emulators, so I don't need hundred of computers in the lab. For now I have installed FreeBSD 2.2.0 and up in a producted called VMWare, and it is working fine. My question is: I have installed FreeBSD 2.1.X but I can't get the network up because the if_lnc_p.c driver for pci amd network cards is not supported. But was supported starting version 2.2.0. I would like to know if somebody can tell me how to integrate a new driver in a old version of FreeBSD or tell me of a web site that can help me. I would really appreciate anybody's help.

Hi everybody I have sent a e-mail for help this morning concerning how to add a new driver in FreeBSD. I specified that I work in a test bed and I have installed FreeBSD 2.2.0 up to the current version 4.7. I just want to know how to add a new driver to a freebsd version. I use the example of FreeBSD 2.2.0 and everybody that answered me asked me why don't you use FreeBSD4.7. Please don't take me wrong, I am happy that people are respondig to my question, but plesse stop with the use freeBSD 4.7 answer. Everything is explained in my e-mail. -- Denis Fournier Communications Research Centre Canada Tel:(613) 990-8782 3701 Carling Avenue, Fax:(613) 998-9648 Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] K2H 8S2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
FreeBSD 2.2.6
Hi, I work in a research environnement. I found and installed FreeBSD 2.2.6. But now I need to recompile the Kernel but the download did not come with the src directory. I know that I can check on the CVS server but I don't know how to get the files. I would appreciate if someone can e-mail me the src directory or tell me where a can get it or how to get it if I have to go on the CVS server.

Difference between versions
Hi, I would like to know if FreeBSD has a file somewhere that says with file and with driver was changed between the release of different versions. For example for FreeBSD 4.7 there would be a file on the FreeBSD cd indicating the files changed between the version 4.6 and 4.7. I know that there is a file like that in NetBSD called changes. But I could not find one for FreeBSD.
