Re: Question about network card

Konrad,

    It's easy enough to try a current kernel temporarily. The ftp site 
nyftp.netbsd.org contains current images that are built every night. You 
didn't mention your platform, but if it's i386, then this kernel will work:

ftp://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/201208280330Z/i386/binary/kernel/netbsd-MONOLITHIC.gz

    Place this kernel in the root of your filesystem and interrupt the 
boot loader, then issue the command:

boot netbsd-MONOLITHIC.gz

That should tell you whether current supports your second NIC or not.
