Card was set with IRQ = 10 and IO = 0x300. FreeBSD seemed to recognise the card correctly and added the ep0 driver. However, when ifconfig is executed (ifconfig ep0 inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0) the system hangs completely and needs to be physically rebooted. The system itself is very straightforward (Pentium 233, IDE CDROM, Floppy, IDE HD) and is known to work. No drivers were modified or disabled during installation. Any assistance resolving this problem would be appreciated. Please send any response to jodak@csc.com.
