Well here is my problem. I have recently converted from Linux to freebsd 2.1.5-release on my pentium system. The problem is that i cannot get the ethernet card I have to work. I believe it is a Gateway ethernet card and it works under Linux 1.2.13 as a ne2000 compatible, but in new linux kernels it locks on detection on every other boot. The problem in FreeBSD is that it the system locks up on detection on every boot. The card is currently on 0x300 irq11 and there is no conflicts with either the address or irq that I am aware of. I have tried defining GW_ETHER which i noticed while reading the if_ed.c file and that did not work either. I believe this problem is stemming from how many cards the ne1000/ne2000 driver is trying to detect, and this old card may not handle it well. I'm open for suggestions...
