I had similar problems with I think the same card - certainly realtek Either I had PNP modem working or ed1 realtek ethenet card Problem was in the end in my BIOS, I had to enable all ports as PNP/PCI as opposed to ISA/EISA and enable OS is PNP aware - AMI BIOS 1998 OK now, however I am having a few network problems but I do not think that this could be the cause -- Tim Preece To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
