Hi. I'm facing the following problem with my ethernet pccard. I installed FBS= D 4.8=20 on my ThinkPad 570 via ftp using the above mentioned ethernet card (using= =20 ed(4) driver). No problems occured. So now I have a 4.8 box installed. Bu= t=20 after I reboot and started my new FBSD box the same ethernet device didn'= t=20 seem to work anymore: >ed1: device timeout Here what man 4 ed sais: "ed%d: device timeout"=20 Indicates that an expected transmitter interrupt didn't occur. Usually ca= used =09=09=09=09 =20 by an interrupt conflict with another card on the ISA bus. This condition= =09 could also be caused if the kernel is configured for a different IRQ chan= nel=20 than the one the card is actually using. If that is the case, you will ha= ve=20 to either reconfigure the card using a DOS utility or set the jumpers on = the=20 card appropriately. But it worked fine while the installation process! I've no idea what coul= d=20 have happened. Maybe this is a sort of IRQ problem, but AFAIK the newly=20 installed box should use the same kernel as've been used while istalling = the=20 system. I don't know where to look for IRQs bindings my FBSD box uses rig= ht=20 now. Unfortunately, I forgot to install kernel srcs, so now I can't even=20 recompile the kernel.=20 Here is a more precise information: >dmesg config> en ed0 config> po ed0 0x280 config> ir ed0 10 config> iom ed0 0xd8000 config> f ed0 0 =2E.. pccard: card inserted, slot 0 pccard: card removed, slot 0 pccard: card inserted, slot 0 ed1: at port ........ irq 11 slot 0 on pccard0 ed1: address ..........., type NE2000 (16bit) ed1: device timeout =2E.. ed1: device timeout I wonder what those commands in /boot/kernel.conf mean (config> strings i= n=20 dmesg)? >less /etc/rc.conf | grep pccard pccard_enable=3D"yes" pccard_ifconfig=3D"DHCP" pccard_mem=3D"defalt" pccardd_flags=3D" -i 3" Have no idea, how to solve this problem :(=20
