Well, it's a PCI device, so the port address is not needed.. The PCI driver will detect it if it knows about it. > So: what's going wrong here?

It looks like the PCI drivers don't understand the card, this maybe because it has an ID they don't know about, but would be capable of driving. Perhaps the author of the PCNet driver can help you. --------------------------------------------------------------------- |Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software | |http://www.gsoft.com.au | |The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to| |choose from. -- Andrew Tanenbaum | --------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
