Anyway, IRQ 10 got me this in /var/log/messages Jan 6 07:47:57 laptop pccardd[60]: driver allocation failed for 3Com So....... anyone out there with an IBM Thinkpad useing a 3COM NIC that could give me a hand here?.... here is the pcard.conf entry I am useing: card "3Com" "Megahertz 574B" config 0x1 "ep0" 10 insert echo 3Com Fast Etherlink 3C574B inserted insert /etc/pccard_ether ep0 remove echo 3Com Fast Etherlink 3C574B removed remove /sbin/ifconfig ep0 delete Also, here is the kernel part about ep0: device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 On 06-Jan-00 Sean O'Connell wrote: > On 2000 Jan 06, William Woods (aka freebsd@cybcon.com) wrote: >> How do I determine what IRQ's are free or used in FreBSD so I can >> choose a free one? > > What is ep0 using in your kernel?
