This card is still not working. I think this message is key:
ie0: unknown board_id: f000
The code generating it is:
(from /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/if_ie.c)
if (board_id != IEE16_ID) {
printf("ie%d: unknown board_id: %x\n", unit, board_id);
return 0;
}
Where IEE16_ID is 0xbaba
But I can't tell where this board_id is coming from. Is it read from the
card's ROM? Is it an id assigned by the isa bus? I really have no idea.
I'm a complete newbie with networking. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I got a couple of these 3com cards for xmas, and I'm having troubles
making them work. I added these lines to the kernel config:
device ie0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 iomem 0xd8000 vector ieintr
pseudo-device ether
Used a DOS utility to set it as follows:
I/O 300
IRQ 10
TRANSCEIVER TYPE ON-BOARD
RAM BASE ADDRESS 0D8000 Hex
RAM SIZE 16 KB
ROM BASE ADDRESS 0D0000 Hex
ROM SIZE 00 KB
ZERO WAIT STATE ENABLED
DATA MODE TURBO
My dmesg gives these lines:
ie0: unknown board_id: f000
ie0 not found at 0x300
Man page for IE(4) says:
ie%d: unknown board type code %d An i82586 chip was found, but
the driv-er was unable to determine the actual board type during
the probe.
Nothing in my kernel config or dmesg suggests that there could be an irq
or port address conflict. Also, I'm wondering whether "iomem" refers to
RAM or to ROM. I've tried several combinations, but so far the result is
always the same. I'm using FreeBSD 2.2.6. Thanks in advance for any
assistance. I've never done anything with networking hardware before, so
don't overlook the obvious!
