| Hi all!
| 
| I'm installing FreeBSD 4.9 on a brand-new machine. The problem is that it 
| doesn't recognize my network card, no matter what I do.
| The vendor ID is 10DE and the device ID is 0066 (the BIOS tells me these 
| numbers).
| I have 4.9-STABLE sources on another machine and I need to upgrade the system 
| with a custom kernel, and install some already-compiled ports via NFS as 
| well.
| The BIOS has a network boot feature, could I probably make use of that?
| 
| Going with 5.X is not an option for me, I need a stable system for server use.
| 
| Regards,
| Daniela
