Hi all:

I have a new installation of FreeBSD 3.2Rel. on an i486 with 2 ISA NE2000=

nics. I recompiled the kernel with the following parameters:

device ed0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 5 iomem 0xd8000
device ed1 at isa? port 0x240 net irq 3 iomem 0xd8000

at boot time it looks like they are initialized properly:

config> en ed0
config> po ed0 0x300
config> ir ed0 5
config> iom ed0 0xd8000
config> f ed0 0
config> q
[...]
ed0 at 0x300-0x31f irq 5 on isa
ed0: address 52:54:4c:17:c9:5c, type NE2000 (16 bit) =

ed1 at 0x240-0x25f irq 3 on isa
ed1: address 00:80:c8:ec:0f:39, type NE2000 (16 bit)

any attempt to work with them, though, results in "edX: device timeout"
warning.

Q1: Does the above look sane? What are "config" and the latter parts of
initialization?
Q2: In the kernel configuration file, what is "iomem 0xd8000", and is it
standard for all ethernet cards? If not, how can I find out the value for=
 my
system?

Thanks in advance!
