Hi,

I have windows 95 on my laptop and I was trying to install freeBSD to
another partition. Everything seems to work except when it comes to
download the distribution from the ftp server, the choice for the
interfaces to use for ftp do not include the ethernet connection (slip and
ppp are included).

The ethernet card works under windows95, and I configured the kernel to
include the device driver for it (and get rid of all the conflicts).

Did anyone have a similar problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Cengiz
