I recently installed FreeBSD 4.1.1 (I'm new to BSD) on my Sony VAIO PCG-818 laptop and have been unsuccessful in getting my NIC, a 3com 3C598D, to work. The power light on the card comes on, but I get no link light on my hub. ifconfig reports: ep0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 media: 10base2/BNC supported media: 10base2/BNC 10baseT/UTP 10base5/AUI The card works fine when I boot to Win98. boot message: ep0 at port 0x300 irq 11 on isa0 ep0: eeprom failed to come ready. ep0: eeprom failed to come ready. ep0: eeprom failed to come ready. ep0: eeprom failed to come ready. ep0: eeprom failed to come ready. ep0: Ethernet address 00:00:00:00:00:00 pccard: card inserted, slot 1 I've tried enabling and disabling PnP in my BIOS, changing the IRQ, and I still get the same lack of results. Am I using the correct driver? Do I need to edit a configuration elsewhere?
