Hi there, I am using FreeBSD-5=2E3 and have the following problem:
I tried to install it on my old computer, and a I cann't let it to dete=
ct my network card ( 3com 3C900-COMBO ) which is
suposed to be suported by the xl(4) driver=2E But my computer just cann=
't detect it and I also tried to use other card, or
other pci slot, also, bios does detect it=2E I think that it could be c=
aused by the series of ``unknown: <PNP0xxx> can't assign
resources (port)'' errors I am receiving on boot time, what are those, =
why do I always get them? Is that why FreeBSD cann't
detect my network card? I have a Award bios=2E Thanks for any help, her=
e is the dmesg log:
