Hi!

I have biig trouble with old DEC Etherworks ISA card. with FreeBSD 4.X
(not tested at earlier vesions)

used in config
le0    at isa? irq 5 port 0x300 iomem 0xd0000 iosiz 0x800

when compiled kernel and booting up
it detects card as i wanted - without any error, detects MAC address ,
Chip etc which mean that it configured correctly
then after all netdevices detected it displays
le0 XXX: driver didn't set ifq_maxlen

i looked at source code for this message within  if.c -   when driver
didn't set ifq_maxlen it assigns this parameter to default .

then interface displays when ifconfig invoked ! so kernel can see it.

but  when i'm just trying to assign inet adrr to interface  (with
ifconfig le0 inet NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN )
kernel faults with page fault trap 12: supervisor read page not present

as i see it cannot find memory addrr associated to netcard ..  but if
i'm trying to assign other addrr its telling me - cannot assign because
adapter configured to use 0xd0000 ..

please help - how to setup this stuff
