My network card keeps getting errors like, ``ed1: timeout''. What's going on? This is usually caused by an interrupt conflict (e.g., two boards using the same IRQ). FreeBSD prior to 2.0.5R used to be tolerant of this, and the network driver would still function in the presence of IRQ conflicts. However, with 2.0.5R and later, IRQ conflicts are no longer tolerated. I had this problem as the 'clever' DOS configuration program decided that IRQ 9 was the only possible interrupt to put the card on. I asked it to try again and it came up with the brilliant solution of using IRQ 3! The solution was to set it up manually using jumpers on either IRQ 10 or IRQ 11 (actually I got rid of DOS as well, but that's another story 8-) James Segmentation fault (core dumped): cannot find file '.signature'
