can anyone help with this? network and sound cards. ------- Forwarded Message hi.. been messing around with freebsd recently on an old P100. i want to know about its compatibility with a cpl of cards i have in there. one is an old non p-n-p dlink de220ct isa network card. it uses a dl2517 chip but i'm unsure of which driver this will match with. is it a ne2000 clone or will it require ibm or some other drivers? i've looked through the website for documentation on d-link but no joy. i actually have access to quite a few slightly differing versions of this card if that will help. the other card is a much newer (1998 i think) diamond multimedia pci sound card. it seems to be based around an ess maestro-2 chip. i dont know much about this one as the diamond site is a bit lacking in legacy info. i have got it working in windoze95. it appears to be a 'sonic impact' card. no fcc id but it has p/n 23010117-002 having demonstrated to myself that i can use my modem with freebsd, i'm keen to do away with the dos partition altogether and use this box as a gateway for my other machine (sparc classic running netbsd) or possibly the other way around. to do this tho i must get the network card working. incidentally - i know the irq and mem address set in the dlink card from running the diag prog in w95. any help would be much appreciated.
