You could try building a kernel with GWETHER defined, as this adds some sophistication to the NE2000 probe for catching funny NE2000 part-clones. When you say "claims its NIC memory is invalid", do you mean that you get this error message? "ed%d: NIC memory corrupt - invalid packet length %d" (Please always quote error messages literally; it makes chasing them down in the source much easier.) You might reasonably get this message if the board has been misdetected. It's possible that it runs in both NE1000 and NE2000 modes with some oddness; you could try changing the 'if (bcmp...)' test around line 1148 to 'if (1)' and see if it probes OK as an NE2000. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
