You might also want to boot the system with the -c option If you can boot using the -c option you can configure your network device for i/o and irq etc.. Also if you have a 3c509b I think you may want to check out http://www.freebsd.orb/search regarding this card .. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: nvp@mediaone.net <nvp@mediaone.net> To: Caroline Beauchamps <caroline.beauchamps@bt-sys.bt.co.uk> Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Date: Wednesday, September 30, 1998 10:52 AM Subject: Re: 3 Com 3C509 problem > >> I am having problems getting my 3 Com network card (3c509) recognized >> When I reboot, I get the following message: >> ep0 not found at 0x300 >> Do you have any idea what's wrong ? > >I'm guessing that one of a few things is happening: > 1) your 3com card isn't functioning properly > 2) there is no card at 0x300 (and you'll need to get the correct > address and rebuild your kernel) > 3) your card still has pnp enabled (I don't recall if 2.2.7 is hip > to pnp NICs). > >Here's what I'd suggest to fix it: > 1) boot into DOS/your Win32 OS.
