Lines: 24 Message-ID: <3rlcjf$b7@gandalf.pic.net> Reply-To: mglaris@pic.net NNTP-Posting-Host: ticket.pic.net X-Newsreader: IBM NewsReader/2 v1.09 Hello, I am something of a Unix neophyte, and am presented with the problem of configuring a FreeBSD v2.0.5 system to use a Etherlink III 3C590 COMBO ethernet board. This is a PCI but mastering ehternet controller. When booting, the devices ed0 and edi are not found at the normal IO addresses. This is not realyy surprising, since I do not think that the proper driver is loaded. For that matter, I have no idea what a Unix device driver even looks like. I'e had a good bit of experience with configuring things under most other PC operation systems, most often OS/2, but know little of Unix. I can use Unix as a not very sophisticated user, but have no experience as a Unix system administrator. As you can probably tell by know, this is presenting a certain amount difficulty.... I think I have a handle on the software configuration. At least, I've found the hosts file, and the aliases file, and most of the other configuration files that are familiar to me from OS/2. Any and all help will be appreciated. Mike Laris mglaris@pic.net
