Posting on -hackers isn't going to help your chances of getting this card working. You should be on -mobile, where I have just finished trying to talk another user through setting one up. > I ran the diagnostics on my 3com 3c589 card to set the IRQ and I/O port (10, > 0x300) and then booted FreeBSD.

Running the diagnostics is completely unnecessary, and can lead to CIS corruption. You don't need FreeBSD to do that. > Can anyone tell me how to 1) correct the CIS memory corrupt problem and, 2) > get this card to work under FreeBSD? Please read the message I just posted to -mobile. If you are not subscribed there, let me know (*NOT* on this list), and I will forward you a copy. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\
