10/24   I'm trying to configure my ethernet interface in FreeBSD. ifconfig -a
        doesn't show an "ed0" device, but it does show a "sis0" that I think
        might be the equivalent to "ed0". What is sis0, and can I use it as my
        ethernet interface?
        \_ man sis
        \_ the "letters" part of the device name is just the chipset.  I don't
           have an ed0 or an sis0.
        \_ ed0 would be a NE2000 card or a clone, sis0 would be, eg, a NetGear
           FA312 ether card.  Odds are thats your ethernet.
        \_ you are probably not tall enough to run bsd.  use linux.
           \_ And RIDE BIKE! too?  I think "windows" is the answer if you want
              to be mean about it.  ifconfig on linux and freebsd is
              essentially the same.  How would linux help?
              \_ Linux ethernet cards are reliably named ethN.
