Sorry if I'm posting in an incorrect place, but I need any
assistance I can get;
I can not, for the life of me, get this freakin' Ethernet card to
be recognised by the FreeBSD generic kernel. A friend of mine mentioned aa
kernel patch for SMC cards. If anyone has the patience, could they please
send me a message telling me where to get, and more importantly, how to
install said patch, considering I dunno how to get data to the machine
without a network interface, which I unfortunately do not have.
Also, any reccomendations about switching around the card's
configuration would be appreciated. I've nuked plug-and-ply and have
experimented with switching the addressing mechanism of how the card would
be found with the ezstart app that came with the monkey.
