I'm having trouble getting FreeBSD 2.1.7 to recognize my
3C509 Ethernet card in a Dell OptiPlex GXMT 5166. This system
has a 3C509b-TPO onboard (which is disabled in the BIOS) and
a 3C509b-Combo card.

The card is sitting at 0x210 IRQ 9. I've tried moving the card
to 0x300 IRQ 10, but it didn't seem to matter. Also, using the
3c5x9cfg program, I've turned off plug-and-play, but the kernel
seems to think that this card is still p&p enabled.

The kernel configuration file claims that the ep0 driver is
"buggy". Is this still true, and if so, what does "buggy" mean?

This system has the following hardware installed:

	Soundblaster 32PNP Wavetable
	9FX Vision 330
	Adaptec AHA-2940U/2940UW PCI SCSI Controller
	3C509B-Combo

Currently, the SB is sitting at 0x300.

Any ideas how to get this configuration working? [I can provide
additional details if needed...]

Thanks,
Stephen Roznowski (sjr@zombie.ncsc.mil)
