Hi together

I'm using the above mentioned network card in my BSD - PC.
While booting I receive the following message:

pci0:10:vendor=0x10ec, device=0x8029 class network (ethernet) int a irq12 
[no driver assigned]

Is this card not supported (BSD 2.1.5 accompanying the book)? 

If a device driver for this card really does not exist, I'm willing to 
write one myself. But I would need some help for getting started.

Waiting for help

Georg Wagner
