Providing what you believe is all the relevant information is always a good thing. Providing a little extra doesn't hurt. Asking people to dig things out isn't such a great idea. You did an excellent job here - but we still want more. > I am still attempting to get a 2nd NIC working in my box I can connect to an > external DSL modem and do NAT. Here's the situation: > > 1.

This time only ed0 was > found but it still worked. Put that stuff back. "at isa?" means "I don't know which ISA bus it's on, try these values at all the ones in the machine." Removing the information about port, irq, etc. means to try the default values for that device, and there isn't one there. > So now I'm looking things over and see that at the beginning of dmesg, there > lines like this: > > ... > config> en ed0 > config> po ed0 0x240 > config> ir ed0 9 > config> iom ed0 0xd8000 > config> f ed0 0 > config> q > ... > > What is "config>" and should there be something there for ed1 as well?

Some one configed ed0 properly for you via the userconfig option. This does the same thing as "ed0 at isa? port 0x240 irq 9 iomem 0xd8000" in the kernel config file. You could use this to set up ed1 instead of the kernel config file - but if you've got an IRQ conflict, it won't work any better than the kernel config. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
