Hi all,

I'm trying to install NetBSD 0.9 on a 486DX2 machine.

My problem is that NetBSD does not seem to recognize the fact that we have a 
SMC (WD) 8013EPC ethernet card plugged into the isa bus.  When I boot this 
machine up under DOS and run FTP software's version of ftp or telnet, or if I 
mount a remote drive using NFS, the card seems to function perfectly.  I am at 
a loss at this point and would appreciate it if anyone has any tips which
might help.  (please send any direct email to the address below rather than 
the account from which I have posted this message)

Thanks a bunch,
Allan
