Hi. I am a very experienced user of FreeBSD. I am having a strange problem I hope you can shed some light on. A particular server I am working on has an AT/Lantic network card. It is ISA and when probed the system finds it to be ed1, irq 5, 0x300, and also prints the hardware address of the card to the console. When going through the install, when I initiate the install after the ip addressing screen the install stalls. I have checked the debugger screen and see a ed1 device timeout. This machine is intended to be a dual boot server, and has NT already installed. According to NT the card is IRQ 2, address 0x300. I have tried using these parameters but still no go. Is this a memory address thing?(it is set to 0xd800). Any suggestions you may have would be appreciated. Unfortunately I have no pci slots left in the machine, so I must use the at card. I have used many ne2000 variants in the past with no problems. The only other thing is its a 10baseT/coax combo card. Is there a parameter I can add at install to force the card into 10baseT mode? In the past dual mode cards have given some sort of interface parameter message on boot, but not this time. Help me... Scott McDonald
