hey all, i have trouble configuring my network card on a compaq deskpro 5100 under fbsd 3.1-release. the compaq diagnostics program says that the nic is a netflex-l but from a previous installation of nt i know that it uses the amd pcnet family drivers, so my guess is that compaq used an onboard version of amd's am79c970 pci card. when i run compaq's diagnostics program it finds the nic at irq 11 and starting at i/o address 0x1000. now, under freebsd i can configure the lnc0 driver (i know that the handbook only mentions amd's am7990 and am79c960 isa cards) on the isa bus so that it matches the aforementioned values. but during boot-up i get the messages that there is both an lnc1 (?!) at pci with the correct irq, i/o address and mac address and an lnc0 at eisa also with all the required values. thing is that i either get a memory initialisation error during the boot sequence or the nic is not initialised after boot-up. completely removing lnc0 from the kernel did not do the trick, while lnc1 does not crop up anywhere! any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, a.
