Installed FreeBSD last week and after some searching - am loving getting to actually learn how the computer works a bit, but having said this....
got it installed - with a couple of small annoyances - read Handbook/forums here, but don't get a response that's worked, so ideas would be greatly appreciated -
1) LAN - default kernel, KDE is on internet, but does not show LAN, ping completes and no loss
card is a Kingston KNE120TX - but drivers suggested rl0?
2) Scroll Wheel - Just figured it out!!
3) Soundcard - Do i have to build a custon kernel to get sound to work? I am limping on a uDMA erroring HD until more money, so kernel will not make..... is there a way in configs without compliling?
sound card=Creative soundblaster 128 (CT4700)
4) LAST - I promise!! THe HD??? Do the errors listed in dmesg mean bad HD? or are there settings that would get around this as well?
Thanks in advance for ANY ideas!!
