Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I recently picked up a nice little ethernet card at computer show for $20. The card came with no documentation, but seems to be detected by linux, freebsd and win95 as a NE2000 clone. here's what freebsd says... ed1 at 0x340-0x35f irq 10 on isa ed1: address 00:40:05:11:18:aa, type NE2000 (16 bit) an ifconfig ed1 reveals: ed1: flags=8863 mtu 1500 inet 192.158.82.44 netmask 0xffffff00 braodcast 192.158.82.255 ether 00:40:05:11:18:aa SO according to all this info I should have a working ethernet card, right? Well, it doesn't work. The card has both BNC and 10BT connectors, so I of course tried the link2 option with no results. I don't think this thing is using any shared memory like my 3com 3c503-16 (which works splendidly BTW). On the noname card there are four LED's: Power/TX, Link/RX, Collision, JABBER The Jabber LED stays on all the time, I think this might be a bad thing, but I dunno. Any ethernet card experts out there help me troubleshoot?? The 'brand' name of the card is ENet-16, and the chipset appears to be a DL2517B (no manuf. name at all...) It's made in Taiwan, if that's of any help... Thanks, Troy
