I've spent nearly an entire 2 days and a half trying to figure out how to enable this hardware. Let me detail my experiences: Objective: Enable Cabletron E2200 Series ISA NIC on my FreeBSD 4.4-Release Given: FreeBSD 4.4-Release Compaq XE 560 (Pentium 60MHz/40MB) Cabletron E2200 Series DNI ISA NIC This is a partial output of my dmesg: isa0: on motherboard isa0: too many dependant configs (8) isa0: too many dependant configs (8) isa0: too many dependant configs (8) ... ... unknown: can't assign resources. This is the data according to the software configuration utility diagnostics from Enterasys/Cabletron: IO Port 1 = 300 IO Port 2 = 280 IRQ = 10 DMA = 3 Media = Auto No boot ROM This is the output of pnpscan -v pnpscan -v CSI2201 : Cabletron E22xx Adapter CSI2202 : Cabletron E22 Companion CTL009c : Creative SB32 PnP Data from Windows98SE Creative CD1220E Generic IDE Disk Type 65 Generic NEC Floppy Disk Cabletron E2200 Series DNI /Primary IRQ 15, DMA 7 IORange 0300-0319 Cabletron E2200 Series DNI /Secondary IORange 280-0299 Actions Taken: 1. Installed FreeBSD4.4-Release on my Compaq XE 560. 2. Downloaded configuration utility software from Cabletron/Enterasys. The NIC is controlled completely via software. There are no jumpers and switches. 3. Read documentation from Enterasys/Cabletron, FreeBSD, and Linux for clues as to how to make this device work. 4. Edited the /boot/kernel.conf to have the appropriate IO/IRQ/DRQ settings... this is on the lnc0. I'm assuming that this is the driver for this NIC. 5. The kernel is GENERIC, and I also have a recompiled vesion called VIATOR 6. I am trying to use the lnc driver for this. According to the physical NIC itself (I opened the box) it was an AMD/PCnet card. There were 2 choices pcn and lnc. I haven't tried pcn. 7. Posted the same question in comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc. 8. Joined mailing list for some more help. 9. I also installed Windows 98 SE to confirm the NIC is not broken. Status: The NIC is still not functioning under FreeBSD. Windows98SE as a testbed was was unbelievable on a Pentium 60. I didn't think it would work, but it was just intollerably slow. I smell really bad right now because I'm sick, I haven't showered in the last two days trying to get this NIC to work. The Cabletron E2200 series isn't in the FreeBSD HCL, but there were hints that it was supported by Unix clones from other sites. The NIC sits in the middle of three ISA slots inside my Compaq XE 560. It's #2 according to the plastic case. There is only one physical NIC, but in both Windows 98 and FreeBSD it shows as two different parts (please consult "given" section). The utility from Cabletron also gives it two IO ports. Can someone please tell me if my attempt is futile, that it really isn't FBSD supported, or if it's just a misconfiguration on my part? I really hope that it's just a misconfiguration because I'm broke. I don't want to buy another NIC, and even if I had the money to buy a new NIC, I wouldn't spend it on this POS! In the meantime, I'm going to unplug for a bit. I really hope that someone out there is listening. If Santa was a techie, this would be my Christmas wish. Thank you, and a happy holiday season to everyone.

I sent this email last night, when I wake up today, I get an email from my mail server saying it's delayed. FreeBSD was trying to resolve interim, but I didn't have a CNAME for that just yet. Oh well. Anyway... this message has been in my mailq since last night, and it was going to wait there for 5 days. I digress. Can someone please help me with this problem? My NIC also comes with a Boot ROM. What that is I'm not sure. The manual doesn't tell me what the boot ROM does. I don't know whether there is a boot ROM physically there because it's something that someone has to install manually. So from the config utility, I turn it on. This changes the IO port addresses of the NIC now, it's IOPort1 = 200 IOPort2 = 280 Can someone please help me on this? By the way, good morning, and I hope everyone is having a splendid weekend.

Thanks in advance. There are txt files attached (to those using Windex, open these with Wordpad -- these were written directly from the FBSD box.): e22_test.txt is the output from the configuration utility of the manufacturer of the NIC. dmesg.1.txt shows my initial configuration going with controller 1's config. kernel.conf.1.txt is the result. The set of #2s are going with the next setting, the same with #3. Notice on all sets of kernel.conf's, they all say "Unknown: can't assign resource." ... to my nic. Can someone please help.
