I know the network card SMC 8216 is supported - or at least this is what I  
read. Yet I've been trying two days without success to install it. I must be  
missing something.

One thing I'm not sure about is the memory address. I set the jumper to 3,  
which indicates on the card that this would set I/O 300, IRQ 10, RAM cc00 and  
ROM none. Is the cc00 correct? Most other cards I know would have cc000. I  
tried both. Without success.

The card is recognized at boot time:

Dec 31 00:16:23 wild-ding /kernel: ed0 at 0x300-0x31f irq 10 maddr 0xcc00  
msize 16384 on isa
Dec 31 00:16:23 wild-ding /kernel: ed0: address 00:00:c0:fd:22:a6, type  
SMC8216/SMC8216C (16 bit)

but I only get warnings like

Dec 31 00:16:26 wild-ding /kernel: ed0: device timeout

Can anybody give me a hint? I'm running FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE. thanks,

- Moritz
