    OK,

    this is what i get: [NIC entry, not the rest]

    none3@pci1:8:0: class=0x2020000 card=0x80f81043 chip=0x10508086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
            vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
            class = network
            subclass = ethernet

    I minimal install from 5.1 made from the ISO images from the FTP site. as in a basic install using the /stand/sysinstall blah blah.
    i'm not very good with installs as i have never really had much trouble before. should i make a CD from some 'CURRENT' version? all
    my hardware should be supported according to the HAREWARE.txt in the CD image i have for 5.1.

    [sorry about the email format. im using my thinkpad plagued by M$]

    Do a minimal install, then run

      # pciconf -vl

    The output looks something like (showing NICs only):

      rl0@pci0:12:0: class=0x020000 card=0x032010bd chip=0x813910ec rev=0x10 hdr=0x00
          vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor'
          device = 'RT8139 (A/B/C/8130) Fast Ethernet Adapter'
          class = network
          subclass = ethernet
      vr0@pci0:18:0: class=0x020000 card=0x764c1462 chip=0x30651106 rev=0x74 hdr=0x00
          vendor = 'VIA Technologies Inc'
          device = 'VT6102 Rhine II PCI Fast Ethernet Controller'
          class = network
          subclass = ethernet

    Show us what you see there. If you can identify the NIC in the
    output, you don't need to show the rest.
