Scot,
I will try to help, but please excuse me if I assume the wrong things.
If the root of the problem is related to IRQ etc:
1> If you're not sure what values your card is set for, verify them
with the cards setup utility.
(Its not really the purpose of the probe to fully verify the correctnes
of its assumed values.)
If you find that your card's values don't match the probes settings:
1>Use the setup utility to change them to match.
OR
2>Use the -c option to change the options for the ed0 device.
If the problem is not one of the above, someone with more FreeBSD
experience will have to jump in.
Thanks, [RC]

Subject: FreeBSD 2.1 & SMC Elite 16 card
Date: Saturday, July 13, 1996 10:36AM
Hi... I'm currently trying to get my SMC Elite 16 card working with FreeBSD
v2.1. It is configured for soft-config on the card, and the kernel
settings for ed0 and ed1 are default.
The card is picked up at boot-time on ed0 (0x280, IRQ-5, 0x0, 0xd8000 ) -
and
there is only conflict with ed1 which is disabled.
However, when setup using ifconfig (ifconfig ed0 10.10.10.1 netmask
255.255.255.0 up), the device driver simply spits a lot of timeout errors to
my console, and the machine cannot be pinged from anywhere on the network.
However, it is picking up ARP requests, as other machines have the card
in their arp-cache.
This is pretty odd... and I have tried removing all other cards with no
positive
result
If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.. (And yes... I have
tried
another card).
Thanks a lot...
Yours - Scot Elliott.
