I am having a very difficult time trying to get my ethernet card to function properly. My card is a Intel Ether Express 16. FreeBSD could detect the card when I booted up with the boot disk. I changed the IRQ to the default IRQ of the card. Everything works great. The only part that is messed up is when I go into ftp install. I want to install the whole distribution over ftp. At the screen the ethernet card times out. I tried this about 10 times and never works. It keeps timing out. The card is picked up at boot but it does not work when I am trying to connect to the ftp site. I checked all the cables and the card. It works under Debian Linux so i know the card is ok. All help are appreciated. thanks. Please reply via e-mail to cw005e@uhura.cc.rochester.edu
