Hi

I'm just new with BSD and want to install it over my local net. There is a  
local FTP-server where all the BSD files reside. Problem is that my old  
3c503 network card isn't detected by BSD. I've booted with the -c options  
and tried various settings with no success :-(
In the setup menu there is the ed0 device and ifconfig shows it running  
but it seems that the card doesn't work. Pinging from another computer  
shows no response and pinging from my forthcoming BSD-machine (as I hope!)  
can't get through.
Is there a known problem or a workaround I missed?
thanks in advance

Michael
