Network Card question
Greetings, I have Freebsd 4.7-release installed on my computer. The ISP just came and installed DSL and provided a Allied Telesyn simple ethernet PCI NIC (PN AT-2400T-001). Freebsd did not recoginize it on boot. How do I get FreeBSD to recognize this card, so I can start using my DSL ? thanks, Darryl To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message

I did not see an unkown device message on boot. dmesg did not show it either. What is the next step in the diagnostic process? thanks, Darryl -Original Message- From: Matthew Emmerton [mailto:matt;gsicomp.on.ca] Sent: Wednesday, November 13, 2002 2:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Network Card question Greetings, I have Freebsd 4.7-release installed on my computer.

The ISPs are expecting you to be running some sort of Windoze or MAC. I'm not familiar with that brand NIC and probably neither is FBSD. You need to determine what driver runs it and if it is supported in the hardware list. Compatible NICs are fairly inexpensive and I'll bet most will work with the modem. For $20.00 or less, you could be up and running with one quick trip to the store if you want fast results. or, maybe someone knows this NIC and has your answer. If not, and it's not supported, I'd be heading for the store. Best regards, Jack L.
