Is this also the proper way of adding a network device.  My ethernet card is
on De0.  When I do ifconfig I get the following
"ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS De0: Device not configured"

I checked /dev and I don't have an entry for 'De0'.  I tried to MAKDEV De0,
but apparently I don't have the MAKDVE program.  I did try this as root.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Kevin
