Hi John, > Experienced a problem setting up the 3Com 3c509B ethernet card (ISA bus) > under FreeBSD 3.2 (Walnut Creek CD-ROM). 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. I'm not sure if this is still relevant but I notice in the LINT kernel configuration file that comes with 3.2 there is the following comment: # ep: 3Com 3C509 (buggy) The only other insight I can provide is that I have a 3c509b which works perfectly (although its a pci card and uses the xl0 driver). -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 3237 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
