It is a TX card and not a TX+

A bit of feedback because I'm very close to a solution now.

It turns out that it's the dual booting win98 which is causing the 
problems. I don't suppose anyone here will be surprised about that.

If I power off completely and re-start, FreeBSD is now finding the network 
okay. However, if I boot to win98 and then reboot to FreeBSD without 
powering off completely, I get the same network error. It takes a complete 
power off to correct the problem.

I've tried reserving the irq in windows but that doesn't work. I suppose 
it's not such a big deal to switch off in between boots but it would be 
nice to find a proper solution.

Does anyone have any ideas?


Thanks


Jim.
