(read entire message before responding!) Wilco. I was waiting for your reply, because this morning I left the dongle for my NE2000 at home, so I was forced to use my backup '589. It sucked; I had to build a new kernel, then some new userland utils (because the userland on my laptop is horribly old and my sources are up to date so I can tinker). But once I had everything in sync, it all "just worked". > Hmmm. One more try, change the "?" to the explicit IRQ I want ... WHAMMO, > ep0 works. Well, *was* "?" legal? It's not so much whether it's legal as whether it works. I don't like ? because the smarts behind the auto-IRQ allocation aren't good. We don't do enough PnP by far for it to be reliable. eg. I use: # 3com 3c589D card "3Com Corporation" "3C589D" config 0x1 "ep0" 9 insert /etc/pccard_ether ep0 -link0 remove /sbin/ifconfig ep0 delete and that "just works" (both on the card I had partially stolen giving me BNC, and on this card giving me UTP). -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
