Synopsis: It detects my two Linksys etherfast 10/100 NIC's as pn1/pn0 but says cannot map ports, won't work. State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: wpaul State-Changed-When: Mon May 10 20:03:42 PDT 1999 State-Changed-Why: This PR is totally worthless. You did not say what kind of machine you have, nor did yousay if either of these cards have ever worked in it before with any other OS. PCI devices have nothing to do with PNP. Stop playing with it. A lot of people hear that PCI devices are 'plug and play' and assume this has something to do with ISA PNP cards. This is not the case: ISA PNC cards are completely different devices. Put the term 'PNP' out of your mind: it has nothing to do with your problem. PCI bus 10/100 ethernet cards are all bus master devices. This means they must be installed in PCI bus master slots. We have no wayt of knowing whether you put them in bus master slots or not since you didn't give us any information about your machine For all we know your machine may have only one bus master slot, or maybe even noen at all. You didn't say if you tried only one card at a time or if you tried putting the cards in different slots. You didn't tell us what kind of hardware you have. All you said was "it's broken; fix it." I refuse to accept such kinds of reports since I have had to deal with more than enough of them already. Consequently, this PR is being closed. When you figure out how to file a proper bug report, you can open another one. -Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
