So if it be irq conflict, Jim lad, 'tis wondrous strange. Argh! | | My geuss is FreeBSD gets that info from the BIOS. | | Physically check your lpt boards and make sure they are | setup correctly and not conflicting. | I would set them as: (I've never done this for FreeBSD) | lpt0 = 0x3bc/7, lpt1 = 0x378/5, lpt1 = 0x278/(upto card) Indeed you'll see the wee beasties are set accordingly (I hope that last 'lpt1' was a typo). | | I'd be interested in seeing your dmesg output. Included below. | | I seem to have problems with NE2000's at 0x300/12, I find 0x2c0/10 | works best for me. Thanks, I'll give it a go.
