Hi,
I never got the network working at all,
when I tried to install debian/bsd.
'it is pretty annoying when you want to try out a
new OS', when you realize that it doesn't
automatically configure the network.
With the debian GNU/linux I never had
such a problem.
What should I do to get the network working?
I'm using an adsl connection with
a network card and an adsl modem.
I just yesterday told that when trying to make
an istallation cd to try the latest version,
I couldn't boot the cd at all...

I just had the same problem.
I got things back up by extracting /sbin/ifconfig, /sbin/route and
/sbin/route.real from the old "hackedutils" deb-file and then do a
"apt-get install net-tools"
One thing I do have to say it is pretty annoying that if you do "apt-get
update/upgrade" it does not install the net-tools package. I don't know
exctaly how the "apt-get" system works, but losing your network
connectivity completely is pretty annoying when you want to try out a
new OS.
:-)
Cheerio! Kr. Bonne.
