Hi !
I have just installed FreeBSD 5.2.1 (Minimal install iso disk 1) on my =
486DX4 100 Mhz sucessfully but I'm unable to get to work one of my three =
ISA Digital EtherWork III (de205)
The fact is that I'm sure they work since in MSDOS 6.22 the tool that =
came with the driver (E3KIT253.ZIP) from Digital recognize successfully =
the three cards.
Adapter #1 - ISA Port 300, IRQ 5, ADDR D0000 MEM/IO 2k (jumper =
set to W1 off, W2 off)
Adapter #2 - ISA Port 280, IRQ 5, ADDR D0000 MEM/IO 2k (jumper =
set to W1 on, W2 off)
Adapter #3 - ISA Port 200, IRQ 5, ADDR D0000 MEM/IO 2k (jumper =
set to W1 on, W2 on)
I have tried the following :
When booting with the installation disk,=20
- I have "unset hint.le.0.disabled" before booting into Kernel =
=3D does not work
- I have try, one card at a time, making sure that the variables =
hint.le.0.X are set to correct settings =3D does not work
When installed, I have removed the disable flag into the =
device.hints file =3D does not work
I wanted to go back to older releases of freebsd, I didn't found =
anything older than 4.9 (does not work either... or need help)
here is my specs of my 486
=20
486 DX 4 100 Mhz
16 Mb of ram
540 Mb HD (400 Mb /, 134 Swap)
24x Creative lab CD-ROM drive
Sound Blaster 16
Trident 1Mb video card
=20
Is there any ways I cant force the detection of the le(4) driver ? I =
cannot recompile the kernel, the sources does not seems to fit ???
Any hint or help would be appreciated=20
thx
