Back in April I posted the following problem: On 28-Apr-00 at 00:12, patl@phoenix.volant.org (patl@phoenix.volant.org) wrote: > I've just installed FreeBSD 4.0R on an Hitachi VisionBook Pro 7590. > During the boot, when the probe checks the builtin NIC, it reports: > > dc0: <Intel 21143 10/100BaseTX> irq 11 at device 11.0 on pci0 > dc0: couldn't map ports/memory > device_probe_and_attach: dc0 attach returned 6 > > Windows98 lists this device as: > > Class: Network adapters > Device: PCI Fast Ethernet DEC 21143 Based Adapter > Resources: > IRQ: 11 > I/O: 1080h-10FFh > MEM: 09043000h-090433FFh > > What do I need to do to get FreeBSD to correctly handle this device? I didn't recieve any replies; so I left it as a Windows-only machine. Now that I have 4.1R in hand, and a few spare cycles; I thought I'd give it another try in the hope that 4.1 would give me better results. It didn't. And it also reported a "could not map" problem for the UHCI controller. (4.0 may have also done that - I didn't really notice.) But this time I tried a few more things. It turns out that turning 'Plug and Play OS' OFF in the BIOS fixed both problems. The Hitachi is now happily CVSupping -stable via it's built-in Ethernet port. So I thought I'd follow up to my original question in case it is of help to anyone else. -Pat To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
