But I don't know what "tell the bios" means. Does it mean to write explicitly in the kernel config file ? Usually irq number is written in the kernel config file, so 1 doesn't occur, I think. I tried this problem with RedHat Linux, but even telnet worked.(I don't know much about Linux, so it might be my mistake) Anyway I want it to work under FreeBSD. I'm trying what you wrote. One of mine is in PnP mode and the other is not in PnP. Thank you for your help. -Tetsuji Rai -----Original Message----- >This might be caused by a misconfigured BIOS. >1- If your card is in PnP mode, you must tell to the bios that your OS > is PnP aware and the card IRQ must not be assigned to ISA. >2- If your card is not in PnP mode, tell to the bios that the card IRQ > (10 in principle) is assigned to ISA. > >I have 2 machines with 3c509 boards.
