Check the "media" type. I have Linksys "combo" cards, which have two types of connectors: BNC thin-net connectors and the other, telephone-cord-like connectors. By default, the telephone-like one is used. You need to specify in the media type (e.g. "LINK1") in your ifconfig line in rc.conf. Check "man ep" for many more details. ---------- From: Max Kartsev Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 1998 12:42 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: NIC Question Hi! I am having a problem configuring FreeBSD with Linksys' Ether16 LAN Card. The card is NE2000 compatible, PnP. I have installed one on a Pentium PC running FreeBSD, and it was recognized, via ed0 interface (addr 0x280, irq 10). The problem comes when installing the card on a 486 machine. I tried different ISA slots, tried installing a different card of the same type; also changed memory address to 0xffffff and irq to -1 thinking that it would poll all possible addresses. Even tried polling different interfaces (ie0, ep0, le0, etc.) Is there anything that I've missed? Is it still a compatibility issue? As I know, the card has 8/16bit autosense. Maybe it is not working properly? Can it be a PnP feature that causes the problem? Or maybe an old 486's ISA slot is too wide for this card and there's simply no electric contact? Any answers or help from you will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! M.
