RE: Network interfaces
Check /var/run/dmesg.boot file and look for boot messages to see if the Nic hardware is found. If so then you have to read the kernel source for the correct kernel option to add to your kernel source and recompile to active the software drivers for you Nic hardware. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Tkachenko, Artem N Sent: Monday, August 11, 2003 6:35 PM To: Freebsd-Config (E-mail); Freebsd-Questions (E-mail) Subject: Network interfaces Hi, I have a Inspiron 5100 and I install FreeBSD 4.8 on it.
