Hi!

Well, as the output states, your arguments to ifconfig are incorrect.

to check if the card is recognized:

dmesg |grep rl0

when it appears, do a:

ifconfig -a

to see, if a rl0 interface is there.

to simply configure it, do:

ifconfig rl0  192.168.1.11 netmask 255.255.255.0


shall be sufficient.

To make it permanent during bootup, insert in /etc/rc.conf:

ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.1.11 netmask 255.255.255.0"
