I use all PCI nic cards, but I think in the case of ISA NIC cards, it does print the IRQ and Port settings. You can use the "ifconfig -a" to print the status of all network ports.

Hi all, I'm running FreeBSD 4.3 on a Compaq 4540 Presario desktop (not high end stuff, I know!) and I'm getting a little frustrated with setting up my ethernet cards in my machine. They are two different makes (manufacturers), both are ISA (one ISA and one ISAPNP) and both are NE2000 compatible. I ran these same two cards in a Linux (Slackware 7.0) box and they worked fine. I'm brand spanking new to FreeBSD, but do know a little about Linux. My question(s) are: - is there anyway to reliably probe these ethernet cards so that I will at least know what IRQ / IO they are on? Is there anything equivalent to isapnp (like on linux)? - how do I set up the ethernet devices? A howto or something to guide me through setting up ethernet devices would be great. I've looked, but the FreeBSD community seems to be lacking in the howto department. Links or suggestions are appreciated!
