<.> From: Marc van Kempen <wmbfmk@urc.tue.nl> <.> Date: Mon, 19 Dec 1994 22:04:14 +0100 (MET) <.> Content-Type: text <.> Content-Length: 701 <.> Precedence: bulk <.> <.> Hi, <.> <.> Despite suggestions to use the link? option to ifconfig I still can't get <.> the 3c579 to run on FreeBSD 2.0. <.> <.> I finally tried an NE2000 I had lying around, and this worked flawlessly. <.> So I think network configuration errors are not the problem. <.> <.> I don't know about EISA cards, but having the port at 0x1000 seems <.> strange to me. Also while playing with the irq I noticed that <.> a dos utility would report the irq at 0xf, while FreeBSD would only recognize <.> the card when set to probe at 0xa. Changing the irq to 0xa with <.> the EISA configuration utility would not really change <.> anything. The card is still recognized, but still no go. <.> <.> If you need more information let me know, <.> <.> <.> Regards, <.> <.> <.> Marc. <.> <.> I use the following config entry for an EISA 3c579 and it works. Note that when I configure the board with the DOS utility I set the IRQ to 11! but use 10 in the config. I'm at a loss for an explanation. # device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 vector epintr # The irq for ep0 is set at 11 via the EISA config program but # It shows up as 10. Go figure. dayton device ep0 at isa? port 0x5000 net irq 10 vector epintr dayton Dayton Clark dayton@sci.brooklyn.cuny.edu
