Realtek 8029 Lan Problems on FreeBSD
Hello...I have just installed FreeBSD on my PII computer and It will not communicate with my Realtek 8029 PCI NIC. In the hardware notes it is shown to be supported so I thought that there would no problem using it.

Does anyone have any idea on how I could get it to run? I am running FreeBSD 4.9 Release.

I also need to know how to configure my Creative Labs AWE64 ISA sound card. It is supposed to be Sound Blaster 16 Compatible. Other than that the system works great and I am running it right now with KDE.

Thanks for any help!

Is the NIC not being recognized or are you having trouble configuring it so you can get online?

Sound support usually has to be compiled into the kernel (at least in my circumstances), but I believe you can do it w/o a new kernel too.

The NIC is recognized as being on the PCI Bus but not as a network adaptor as shown in the Info Center in KDE

My NIC isn't shown in KDE's Info Center either. For things like this, I like to go to a terminal and do some commands. Run `ifconfig` and post the results.

As root, run /stand/sysinstall. This should look familiar. Go through the settings and you should be able to set up your NIC (ed0) to work off of DHCP. That's the easiest method.

You can specifically set an IP address using ifconfig. Type `man ifconfig` for more information. It looks like this: `ifconfig ed0 X.X.X.X`. You might also try `man dhclient` as well.

Hi.
I have configured my RealTek, and it seems to work, but nothing apprears in KDE's control center, and I can't ping my Windows XP. What's up?
