Hi Folks, I think I'm cursed with not getting my ethernet cards to work under FreeBSD. I used to have a Intel EtherExpress Pro/10 board but I was unable to get it working after a plethora of patches to the kernel drivers and basically after fooling with it off an on for 3 months, I have given up. (I probably should have tried FreeBSD-Current) Now I have a 3Com Etherlink III. I'm having problems getting it recognized. I've downloaded the Ether disk from the 3com site and used it to turn PnP off and used the defaults of IRQ 10, 300 as it's register. During the probe, FreeBSD comes back with: detected 16 <3com blah blah> at 0x200 (repeated 16 times) ep0: not found at 0x300 If I set it to 0x200, it tells me that I should turn off PnP! Even though I already did that. Here are some curios however. When I boot into win95, and check to see what register it's using, it won't say anything about what IRQ it's using only the registers, which were 220-23F I believe. This leads me to believe that PnP is still active because no matter what I do with the DOS program to configure it, it still works under Win95. Can anybody help me out here? I've somewhat hit a wall of things to try. sri -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Sriram Ramkrishna | Intel Corporation Unix System Adminstrator | MD-6 Division, Technical Support phone: 503-264-3529 | email: sramkris@ichips.intel.com -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
