Does anyone know what that boot-time message means?  I sure hope so,
because until I can solve it, I can't use BSD to access the network.

When I  changed from dial-up to cable, I installed a LinkSys LNE100TX
card to speak to the modem they (cableTV) installed.  The hardware
checks out, it passed its own diagnostics, and Microsoft uses it OK.
This is a PNP device, and I had to resequence my PCI cards to get things
to work, and since then  I've obtained the IRQ, !/O, and mem addresses
for BSD.   (LINT says this specific card works as a generic DEC card
device dc).

What I added to the kernel:
device    miibus
device    dc
device    dc0     at miibus? irq 10 mem 0xc000000 I/O 0x1400
No errors from config or kernel compile.

Actual error messages at boot time:
dc0: <ADMtec AN085 10/100BaseTX> irq 10 at device 15.0 on PCI0
dc0: couldn't map ports/memory
device_probe_and_attach: dc0 attach returned 6


Does anyone know what "attach" is trying to tell me (i.e., what does 6
return code mean)?   A couple of people have tried to help, but I've
kind of run out of things to try.
