Summation: Does anyone know how to configure a TC5143-T NIC during FreeBSD r4.0 install? I have a NE2K compatible NIC mfg. by Thomas-Conrad (bought out by Compaq) that keeps hanging when probed. It is set to I/O 0x340 and IRQ 4. These settings are not in conflict w/ other devices (COM and LPT disabled, no sound card). My options for the NIC config are... I/O 0x240,280,2c0,320,340,360 IRQ 3,4,5,2/9 The linux ethernet-HOWTO stated that these cards (NE2K clones) do not respond to the device reset on the ISA probe and to add 0xBAD as the end I/O address when you insmod. I know FreeBSD is not linux, but maybe this is similar? I am trying to do a FTP install, so this is essential. Has anyone had any luck w/ this type card? What settings did you use? Why not PCI? Because the system is a Dell Optiplex 466MXN and only has ISA. TIA Jason S.
