I am trying to bring up a box with an SMC8013EWP NIC (the exact same NIC that 20 or so other boxes here are using on 2.2.5-R). First, let me say up front that I have run the card through diagnostics, and it's ok. I have even swapped it out and had it work fine in the box it went to, and now have the *other* (working) card to mess with. This is NOT a hardware problem, no matter WHAT it may *look* like :) I can bring up ed0 with 0x300, [5,10], 0xcc000, but I cannot get it to work at 0x280 with ANY irq or RAM settings! I know how to set the options on the install screen, but they are obviously being ignored, since it never finds ed0 on probes. I MUST have this one box on 0x280, IRQ 3 or 10, and 0xd8000 or 0xd0000 so that I can accomodate another piece of hardware. With that in mind... How do I get around 2.2.5's refusal to map to my selected addressings??? TIA J.A.
