hi..

been messing around with freebsd recently on an old P100. i want to know about 
its compatibility with a cpl of cards i have in there.

one is an old non p-n-p dlink de220ct isa network card. it uses a dl2517 chip 
but i'm unsure of which driver this will match with. is it a ne2000 clone or 
will it require ibm drivers? i've looked through the website for documentation 
on d-link but no joy. i actually have access to quite a few slightly differing 
versions of this card if that will help.

the other card is a much newer (1998 i think) diamond multimedia pci sound 
card. it seems to be based around an ess maestro-2 chip. i dont know much 
about this one as the diamond site is a bit lacking in legacy info. i have got 
it working in windoze95. it appears to be a 'sonic impact' card. no fcc id but 
it has p/n 23010117-002

having demonstrated to myself that i can use my modem with freebsd, i'm keen 
to do away with the dos partition altogether and use this box as a gateway for 
my other machine (sparc classic running netbsd) or possibly the other way 
around. to do this tho i must get the network card working.

incidentally - i know the irq and mem address set in the dlink card from 
running the diag prog in w95.

any help would be much appreciated.

GREG
