Hello,
The new ep driver in 4.0-R is quite sensitive to some things :
- it does not like when the 3c509 gets probed by **another** driver (so be sure
to disable all other NIC drivers which may probe the same port address range)
- it does not like either when config paramaters are left "floating", whithout any fixed value
(the cure for this problem is to use 3com's setup utility and set all parameters,
like port address, IRQ and Ethernet prt used : UTP, BNC ...)
TfH
PS : I've go around 20 3c509's working here without any problem, all under 4.0-R
PS2 : could the above caveat's be included in the man page ?

Subject: FreeBSD v 4.0 and 3COM 3C509TP
Hi,
I am trying to install v. 4 with a 3COM 3C509 isa network card, which doesn't work. I heard there are known problems with v 4 and that card. It worked fine in 2.2.8.
What shall I do? How does v 3.x handle that card? Are there patches or whatever available for v 4 that I could dl before installing (obviously not after, since the card is then out)?
I would appreciate any advice.
Regards
Per Claesson
