"LNK" is on, "100" and "FDX" are off (it's a 10 Mb ethernet). The ezstart tests are all ok. During booting BSDI says: de0 at pci0 iobase 0xfc80 irq 10: SMC 8432BA DC21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.0 de0: address 00:00:c0:96:54:f2 de0: enabling BNC/AUI port I don't understand why it says BNC/AUI cause its only UTP but ok, if I continue and execute "ifconfig de0 <address>" the console displays "de0: transmission timeout". If I try to ping any machine in the same network it continues to say "transmission timeout". I tried forcing the card into 10 Mb but it won't work. ifconfig has an option "link?" but I can't seem to get information except that they are used for SLIP (CSLIP or something). Does anyone have a solution, or does anyone know where I can find more info on BSDI? (a good book?) Thanks, Marcel
