=09 I installed FBSD 4.8 on my ThinkPad 570 via ftp using the NE2000 comp=
atible=20
ethernet card. Unfortunately, somethig went wrong while adjusting the ker=
nel=20
to my needs. So now I can't get the same card to work.
My present configuration looks like this:
#____ kernel
device miibus
device ed
device card
device pcic0 at isa? irq 0 port 0x3e0 iomem 0xd0000
device pcic1 at isa? irq 0 port 0x3e2 iomem 0xd4000 disable
#_____ /etc/rc.conf
pccard_enable=3D"YES"
pccard_ifconfig=3D"DHCP"
pccardd_flags=3D""
#_____ dmesg sais
pccard: card inserted, slot 0
pccard: card removed, slot 0
pccard: card inserted, slot 0
ed0 at port ....... irq 11 slot 0 on pccard0
ed0: address ..............., type NE2000 (16bit)
ed0: device timeout
ed0: device timeout
=2E..
#_____ from >man 4 ed
ed%d: device timeout Indicates that an expected transmitter interrupt
didn't occur. Usually caused by an interrupt conflict with another =
card
on the ISA bus. This condition could also be caused if the kernel i=
s
configured for a different IRQ channel than the one the card is actu=
ally
using. If that is the case, you will have to either reconfigure the=
card
using a DOS utility or set the jumpers on the card appropriately.
I've already tried to to change interrupt by adding irq to the ke=
rnel=20
and pccardd_flags=3D"-i #num" to /etc/rc.conf.
I was also experimenting with /boot/kernel.conf, altering it by m=
y own=20
hands. Installing the new kernel doesn't seem to replace this file. Then =
who=20
does? Why is it important if at all?=20
=09I had the following strings in /boot/kernel.conf at the begining:
=09 en ed0
=09 po ed0 0x280
ir ed0 5
iom ed0 0xd8000
f ed0 0
