There might be other causes. Old ISA NICs are known to be configurable with proprietary interfaces. For example, the nic I have here works fine on windows, and I can change it's irq there (even if it's not plug and play), but when I go back to fbsd, the case is *recognized* but I cannot use it. >How-To-Repeat: N/A. >Fix: Patch to the ed.4 manpage: --- /usr/src/share/man/man4/ed.4 Tue Aug 21 13:14:01 2001 +++ ed.4 Tue Aug 28 11:38:49 2001 @@ -134,7 +134,10 @@ .It "ed%d: device timeout" Indicates that an expected transmitter interrupt didn't occur.
