Re: [9front] Need help with configuring the Internet

Looking at http://fqa.9front.org/fqa3.html#3.2.3.1 (list of known
working hardware)
I can't seem to find the Ethernet hardware with vid/did of 8086/15bc.
The motherboard I'm using is relatively new (B360 D3H), so
I'm guessing either the fqa is not updated yet or the appropriate
driver isn't yet implemented. I'll try looking around for some more
information...
