Do your initial install with no pcmcia controller support and the card not inserted. Once your system is up and running do the following: 1) Apply the patch found at this location: http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~iedowse/FreeBSD/ed_patch_new 2) Build custom kernel with ed and miibus support. 3) In /boot/kernel.conf put something along the following lines: irq pcic 9 Or some other free IRQ on your laptop 9 works for me.. :) Once you do this, your card should work.. but you will still get some occassional ed timeouts.. Hope that helps, let me know if you need anything else. -T -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Sid Lambert Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2001 5:05 AM To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Subject: FA410TX device timeout. I have a Dell Latatude laptop and a Netgear FA410TX NIC, I have installed FreeBSD 4.1 and get ed1: device timeout errors, I have tried various things including the fa_select util and many custom kernels, dmesg always reports the card at IRQ 3 0x300 but the DOS util supplied with the card shows irq 11 at 0x300. Any suggestions on how to fix this. I have also tried to install 4.3 with the latest 4.3 floppies it gives a device timeout error in the install.
