Building and Installation:

1) Put the driver disc in Drive A. Under the prompt, type: "mount_msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt" => (4.x) or "mount_msdosfs /dev/fd0 /mnt" => (5.x/6.x/7.0)
Then move the driver file to the directory of your choice.

2) If you want to install the driver as a dynamic loadable kernel module, perform the following steps:

2.1) In order not to use the old FreeBSD built-in driver, perform below steps to build the kernel for not using the built-in driver:
(a) "cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf"
(b) "cp GENERIC SERVER"
(c) "ee SERVER"
(d) find the line "device vr" and mask it as "#device vr" then save the file.
(e) "config SERVER"
(f) "cd /usr/src/sys/compile/SERVER" => (4.x) or "cd /usr/src/sys/i386/compile/SERVER" => (5.x/6.x/7.0)
(g) "make depend all install"

2.2) After the kernel build completes, return to the driver file directory in step 1 and type the following commands to build the driver module:
(a) "cd fet"
(b) "make"
(c) "make install"

2.3) Edit "/boot/loader.conf" file to add a line: if_fet_load="YES"

2.4) Perform step 3.6 if you want to configure network-related files in /etc.

2.5) Perform steps 3.7, 3.8 to reboot and confirm if the driver is working.
