Hi,
I used o 3com 3c503 with the same device driver (ed). The driver used
to complain timeout error until I plugged a BNC cable - after that, I
never had another error - and the card and driver perform flawlessly.

Greetings,
Sorry for the cross-post to hackers, but this has been kicking around on
questions for a day or two with no resolution. I have tried everything
suggested to me but nothing helps.
Does anyone know if there is a problem with the ed: device driver on
2.2.6-R? I have a PCI NIC that was giving me a ed1: timeout error. I have
removed *every* card in the system except the video card (on the ISA bus),
changed cables twice, and set the NIC to every IRQ available on the system.
I even disabled the serial and parallel ports to be able to use those IRQs.
But here is the clincher... I took out the PCI NIC and put in a real
Novell/Eagle NE2000 ISA NIC. It is jumper-less so I used the DOS utility
that came with the card to set the IRQ and base address. Then I booted
with the GENERIC kernel and set ed0: to the correct settings. Now for the
big kick in the a**. Both cards, the PCI and ISA NIC are both NE2000, so
they both use the ed: device and *both* cards give me the ed: timeout
error!! By this time I was banging my head on everything in reach. I have
another ISA NIC (a 3Com) that uses the ep: device and it works fine.
Anyone else having problems like this? The MB is an ASUS-Tech SPG3 (yes
it is a 486). Intel-DX2-66, 24MB RAM, 4 ISA, 3 PCI, onboard IDE and SCSI
(both of which can be disabled). I have been running FreeBSD on it for
about 2 years and this is the first time I have had any problems.
Thanks
Matthew
