I have an old Compaq Prolinea 6150e that has an Intel Ether Pro/10 ISA NIC. I'm having trouble configuring the NIC so that FBSD can use it. It seems to be an IRQ conflict from what I can see. If I set it to "Plug and Play" via the Intel SoftSet program, the NIC reports no IRQ and ff:ff:ff:ff as it's MAC address. If I set it to IRQ 10, I don't see any conflicts but I can't seem to hit anything (network wise) beyond the card interface. It may be worth noting also that set to IRQ 10, the SoftSet test program fails on internal loop (I think). If I set it to Plug and Play, or IRQ 5 (the IRQ of COM2), the SoftSet tests all pass. Is there a way I can disable COM2 in FBSD? I'd try to do it in the BIOS but it a Compaq and I can't find the BIOS config utility for this particular system. Anyone have any experience or other ideas on how to get this ISA NIC working? Much thanks! Mark __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
