Here's the line from my dmesg: ed0: port 0x7f80-0x7f9f irq 11 at dev= ice 10. 0 on pci0 ed0: address 00:40:95:43:17:ac, type NE2000 (16 bit) Here's the line from my config file: # ISA Ethernet NICs. device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 irq 11 iomem 0xd8000 Since it's a PCI card, I'm assuming it ignores the bits after 'ed0'? ifconfig output: ed0: flags=3D8843 mtu 1500 inet 10.133.14.116 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.133.14.255 ether 00:40:95:43:17:ac I wondered if it's a full/half duplex problem (it's plugged into a switch= ); I checked the man page but the device doesn't seem to support the media or mediaopt options. Any clues on trying to debug the problem? --Jon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
