The card was assigned ed1 since ed0 is statically allocated to an ISA instance of the card. You can't remove it without removing the entire ed driver from the kernel. . PCI cards are self-configuring, you don't set the IRQ or I/O port. . Just live with it on ed1 :-) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
