>Environment:
had to delete BSD - if it has no network, it's useless :-(
Problem is there with both standard and self compiled kernel
>Description:
- tried FreeBSD 4.4 and had to learn that both my several years old Intel Pro/100B and also my newer Pro/100+ do not work, fxp0 says "could not map [address|register]" (don't remember the exact phrase). Same as with 4.0 (this was the last time I wanted to try BSD). Both cards work fine under Win9x/2K + Linux 2.4.x
- Machine A (older card) has Intel LX chipset
- Machine B (newer card, BSD test install) has Via 694X/694Z chipset
- swapping cards between machines and reinstall on B did not help

Info for the older card (Linux):

00:10.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 02)
        Subsystem: Intel Corporation EtherExpress PRO/100B (TX)
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 66, IRQ 11
        Memory at fecfe000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=4K]
        I/O ports at f800 [size=32]
        Memory at fed00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
        Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=1M]

>How-To-Repeat:
Just buy that Intel NIC and try to ping your default gw ;-)
>Fix:
install Linux? ;-) (SCNR)
I would like to test BSD/compare with Linux, but I only have Intel NICs both at home and at work
