Okay, so I just did something VERY stupid and bought an ISA PnP Ethernet
card. I'll never do that again. Promise. PCI all the way for me, yes
sir-ee!
The card claims to be NE2000 compatible, or, well, actually, the guy who
sold it to me claims it's NE2000 compatible. Now to my problem...
I don't have the slightest clue how to get it to work.
My PnP BIOS reports it as a "Network Controller" on IRQ 11.
dmesg shows:
CSN 1 Vendor ID: AXE2201 [0x01220507] Serial 0x07c86d05 Comp ID: PNP80d6
[0xd680d041]
I have the ed0 device in my kernel, so I tried just plugging-and-playing.
Bad idea. The PnP config that normally goes with my PnP AWE64 got bumped
to the network card. This hosed all sorts of things up, including (ugh)
syscons. So I changed the CSN in the AWE64's entries in my userconfig
script to 2, and added "pnp 1 0 port0 0x280 irq0 11" in hopes that I'd get
the card configured and popped onto 0x280, where ed0 expected it. Nope.
In dmesg appeared:
CSN 1 Vendor ID: AXE2201 [0x01220507] Serial 0x07c86d05 Comp ID: PNP80d6
[0xd680d041]
Warning: LDN 1 does not exist
Warning: LDN 1 does not exist
Warning: LDN 2 does not exist
Warning: LDN 2 does not exist
CSN 1 is disabled.
Any hints here? I'm running -CURRENT from Dec 15th.
