I am working with FreeBSD 2.1.6. After installing, I am having some networking problems. I try to ping a host on my network, and I am getting an error message - "no route to host". Is this a symptom of a mis-configured network card? I have a 3Com 3C90X. In the Userconfig utility, I saw no mention of this card - only the 3C50X. Are these cards alike enough to operate with the same driver? Is there any way of starting up the Userconfig utility than entering -c at the boot prompt?
