Detect hardware changes

[Keith Bottner]

ipconfig -a doesn't show the skc0 device which I believe is my ultimate
problem. Can I infer from your earlier message that this means the sk module
is not being loaded or is not available? How can I check to see if the
loadable module is installed?

Thanks,

Keith

No, actually the sk driver, look at the first line of pciconfig output.
ifconfig -a should list a network card called skc0 which you just need to
configure.  If all you need is dhcp then just run dhclient skc0.  Add the
device to rc.conf for it to work on boot.  Use man rc.conf for help or copy
the line for the xl0 network card you already have.
