Subject:   4.4 with a NE2000 nic and problems...

Greetings. I have an ISA NE2000 nic card in my 486 dx4-100. I'm
attempting to install FreeBSD 4.4 with two boot
floppies, and a freebsd4.4.install.iso cd-rom.

I finally figured out how to get the setting in the kernel to match
those on the nic. I set the jumpers to 0x300, and
irq 5, because that is what the kernel has liked best from the start. In
other words, reguardless of settings, I could
get the kernel to report that a 'ed0' interface was present, and even
configure it, but not work. I've set the jumpers
now, and I still can't get it to work. I am still recieving a message of
'date machine /kernel: ed0: device timeout'

I was wondering if anyone had any insight into this problem, because
It's getting very old. :P

Thanks in advance.

-John
