Since no one else has lent any advice, I may as well take a wild stab in the dark. First off, what does 3c5x9cfg say? I'm assuming that you likely installed the NIC's and let auto config do it's thing. Also I'm assuming that you have run the test on the NIC and no errors are produced. I've noticed that sometimes this is not satisfactory to what BSD requires. Basically, you have to install 1 card (run 3c5x9cfg autoconfig and test) restart BSD note the resources that it uses, and then go back to 3c5x9cfg and set the card to that (and of course ensure that it still works). Then install the next card... run 3c5x9cfg, restart note resources, change NIC settings to what BSD expects. BTW, I think you have to power down the system each time you make a change to each NIC. Repeat until carpel tunnel sets in.<G> Good luck. --- Bruno Miguel <brunomiguel@netcabo.pt> wrote: > ep0: <3Com 3C509-TPC EtherLink III> at port > 0x300-0x30f irq 10 on isa0 > ep0: eeprom failed to come ready. > ep0: eeprom failed to come ready. > ep0: eeprom failed to come ready. > ep0: eeprom failed to come ready. > ep0: eeprom failed to come ready. > ep0: Ethernet address 00:00:00:00:00:00 > [...] > ep1: <3Com 3C509B-TPC EtherLink III (PnP)> at port > 0x210-0x21f irq 5 on > isa0 > ep1: Ethernet address 00:10:4b:e7:4d:c5 > > I use ep1 and ignore ep0 and it works fine.
