I got a couple of these 3com cards for xmas, and I'm having troubles
making them work.  I added these lines to the kernel config:

	device ie0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 iomem 0xd8000 vector ieintr
	pseudo-device   ether

Used a DOS utility to set it as follows:

	I/O			300
	IRQ			10
	TRANSCEIVER TYPE	ON-BOARD
	RAM BASE ADDRESS	0D8000 Hex
	RAM SIZE		16 KB
	ROM BASE ADDRESS	0D0000 Hex
	ROM SIZE		00 KB
	ZERO WAIT STATE		ENABLED
	DATA MODE		TURBO

My dmesg gives these lines:

	ie0: unknown board_id: f000
	ie0 not found at 0x300

Man page for IE(4) says:

	ie%d: unknown board type code %d  An i82586 chip was found, but
	the driv-er was unable to determine the actual board type during
	the probe.

Nothing in my kernel config or dmesg suggests that there could be an irq
or port address conflict.  Also, I'm wondering whether "iomem" refers to
RAM or to ROM.  I've tried several combinations, but so far the result is
always the same.  I'm using FreeBSD 2.2.6.  Thanks in advance for any
assistance.  I've never done anything with networking hardware before, so
don't overlook the obvious!
