If the irq is the problem, then it would be because it is getting set to something that another card is already using. > My 2.2.5-RELEASE Handbook says that the 3c503 >info is in FAQ135.html#135: > >9.9.

To use the AUI port instead of the BNC one, use ``link2''. ...yes, if the port isn't configured correctly (the default is BNC), then the same device timeout can occur. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
