Hello...

Any help would be greatly appreciated...
I am not a reader on the FreeBSD Questions list so
please respond directly if you are from that list.

I should have asked what kind of ISA NIC works 
best before buying...

I am having the hardest time getting three 
Intel EtherExpress NIC's to work on this machine.
(Intel PCLA8100 EtherExpress 16 ISA 10BT RJ45, BNC,
AUI. ISA Card -- Intel original) $7.00ea

I am running:
$ uname -a
FreeBSD me.work.com 3.4-STABLE FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE #8:
Fri Aug 11 14:59:43 EDT 2000
me@gate.work.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GATE-5  i386
$
This box (HP Vectra)is a router and I am getting rid
of my three 3c509 cards due to problems with the "ep"
driver.

Looking at the KERNEL config file section for the 
ISA NIC's:
# ISA Ethernet NICs.
#device         ed0     at isa? port 0x280 net irq 10
iomem 0xd8000
#device         ie0     at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10
iomem 0xd0000
device          ie0     at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10
iomem 0x00000
#device         ep0     at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10
#device         ex0     at isa? port? net irq ?
#

I don't know what to do with this "iomem 0xd0000" 
parameter.  I have tried setting the card to 
"NO Memory mapped" and removed the IOMEM but if the 
card is present the system won't even boot.

When I try to configure the IOMEM to match the card I
just get a error saying the "Kernel mapped location
doesn't match the card mapped location"

The card setup program only gives me choices like:
cc00
d000
d400
etc...

Can anyone help??
