Hello, so far I've upgraded to 2.2.1 and recompiled my kernel for device de0 device de1 controller is ncr0 I added a -link1 -link2 to my sysconfig and I get: de0: enabling 10base port de0 transmission timeout. I added a -link1 link2 , then link2, then link1 link2... Just hangs at add net default: gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Every time the link lights start as ON then as soon as de0 probe comes up the lights go OFF. What else could it be? A PCI conflict?? It doesn't seem that any sysconfig will work.

Some bios setups will let you assign IRQ's manually to the cards. Make sure you are using the correct ethernet port on the card. Try adding -link2 or link2 to your ifconfig statements. >---------- >> From: Blaine Minazzi <bminazzi@denverweb.net> >> To: Pat McPartland <mcp@blast.net> >> Subject: Re: smc9332 and freeBSD 2.1.5 problems >> Date: Wednesday, April 09, 1997 12:56 PM >> >> Pat McPartland wrote: >> > >> > Hello, >> > I am trying to get smc9332 10/100 cards to work in FreeBSD.
