I'm guessing that one of a few things is happening: 1) your 3com card isn't functioning properly 2) there is no card at 0x300 (and you'll need to get the correct address and rebuild your kernel) 3) your card still has pnp enabled (I don't recall if 2.2.7 is hip to pnp NICs). Here's what I'd suggest to fix it: 1) boot into DOS/your Win32 OS. If you card is working under Win32, grab (write down) the relevent configuration information. Reboot into FreeBSD and rebuild your kernel with the correct settings for your card. 2) boot into DOS/your Win32 OS. Check your card's information with the 3com utilities -- make sure that pnp is disabled and write down the card's information. Reboot into FreeBSD and build a new kernel. -- Nate Patwardhan, System Administrator O'Reilly and Associates nvp@oreilly.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
