When upgrading a box from current ~ 1999-11-15 to ~ today, the 3c509b network interface fails to work. These are the kernels (the first one working, the second one not). /kernel.old: FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT #1: Mon Nov 15 00:03:00 CET 1999 /kernel: FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT #0: Fri Nov 26 00:05:43 CET 1999 The first one has this configuration line for ep: device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 irq 10 and the card gets attached as follows: 1 3C5x9 board(s) on ISA found at 0x300 ep0 at port 0x300-0x30f irq 10 on isa0 ep0: aui/utp/bnc[*UTP*] address 00:a0:24:77:5d:eb when running today's GENERIC kernel I get this instead: ep0: <3Com EtherLink III (3c509-Combo)> at port 0x300-0x30f irq 9 on isa0 ep0: eeprom failed to come ready ... Ethernet address ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff (which is totally bogus, of course). I've tried both with PnP disabled and enabled in the BIOS. Any hints and/or suggestions? /assar To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
