Nobody else has tried to run most ISA nics on anything but x86. That's why they are not in the alpha GENERIC kernel. You're tredding on new ground here. Your initial problems are configuration related. Expect to have more problems once you get the drivers building. > I'm running 4.5-RELEASE-p1 on a AlphaServer 1000.

I notice the ep driver still does inb/outb so it hasn't been converted to bus space yet. This reduces the likleyhood of it actually working if you manage to compile it. BTW, do you actually have all these nics? Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
