Hi Ben and All,
Well, the installation of NetBSD on my old Pentium
75mhz went very well. On first restart, she booted
great, and I had a working unix distro in less than a
couple of hours. It was also one of the easiest
installations that I have ever done!
Anyway, I noticed that my new D-link card is not being
recognized by the OS. I know you state some
configurations below, but how do I configure it? I'm
really new to NetBsd and unix as a whole and would
like to get this computer on my network so I could set
up the web server software.

Also, Nate, thank you very much for the info. I
installed the card and so far I haven't had any major
problems except that it is not recognized by the OS.
But the LEDs do turn on, and before I installed
NetBSD, Windows did recognize the card.
Thanks again,
J Silverman
