Greetings, Sorry for the cross-post to hackers, but this has been kicking around on questions for a day or two with no resolution. I have tried everything suggested to me but nothing helps. Does anyone know if there is a problem with the ed: device driver on 2.2.6-R? I have a PCI NIC that was giving me a ed1: timeout error. I have removed *every* card in the system except the video card (on the ISA bus), changed cables twice, and set the NIC to every IRQ available on the system. I even disabled the serial and parallel ports to be able to use those IRQs. But here is the clincher... I took out the PCI NIC and put in a real Novell/Eagle NE2000 ISA NIC. It is jumper-less so I used the DOS utility that came with the card to set the IRQ and base address. Then I booted with the GENERIC kernel and set ed0: to the correct settings. Now for the big kick in the a**. Both cards, the PCI and ISA NIC are both NE2000, so they both use the ed: device and *both* cards give me the ed: timeout error!! By this time I was banging my head on everything in reach. I have another ISA NIC (a 3Com) that uses the ep: device and it works fine. Anyone else having problems like this? The MB is an ASUS-Tech SPG3 (yes it is a 486). Intel-DX2-66, 24MB RAM, 4 ISA, 3 PCI, onboard IDE and SCSI (both of which can be disabled). I have been running FreeBSD on it for about 2 years and this is the first time I have had any problems.
