Rick Hamell stated: : : : Hi all! I thought I had my network card working, when I run : Ifconfig manually I get the ed1 device timeout error message three times - : According to the handbook this is an IRQ conflict. I've removed all the : conflicts I can find except the one between pcic0 and ed0 (in the : Kernel.) Both devices are on IRQ 10, but ed0 is set to auto config in : /etc/pccard.conf and it does get detected at IRQ 10 but gets assigned the : ed1 name. This leads me to believe that I may not need the ed0 device in : the kernel, is this true? And if not I should be able to change the ed0 : line in /etc/pccard.conf to IRQ 9 for instance? Thanks in advance! Rick- This is a classic irq problem :) 1) change the ed entry in your kernel to read device ed 2) change the pcic entry in your kernel to be just # PCMCIA support device card device pcic0 at isa? This will put the pcic in polling mode and will free up an irq. 3) Change the entry in /etc/rc.conf to be (using DHCP as an example) pccard_ifconfig="DHCP" and not ifconfig_ed0="DHCP" 4) Make sure that you are really using /etc/pccard.conf and not the default version (/etc/pccard.conf.sample for 4.0-RELEASE or /etc/defaults/pccard.conf for a recent -STABLE and soon to be 4.1-RELEASE). You can set this by adding pccard_conf="/etc/pccard.conf" in /etc/rc.conf. This is only needed if you are hacking on a customized version. 5) Figure out what your free irq's are. Often IRQ 9 or 3 are loose. Don't have 10 in the irq line of /etc/pccard.conf if it is not really free. The irq line there should only contain known free irqs. Hope this helps.
